Judge rules staff can continue strike action
Blackpool Gazette
|November 07, 2025
Workers at BAE Systems in Lancashire can continue to strike following the dismissal of a bid for a High Court injunction aimed at blocking industrial action.
The company asked a judge to order Unite the Union members at the Warton and Samlesbury sites to cease their planned action in a last-minute hearing on Tuesday.
Strikes were due to start on Wednesday and last until November 25, according to the union.
But Mr Justice Soole yesterday refused to grant the injunction.
He said: "Having considered the evidence, the application is dismissed. I will give my reasons later."
