特斯·德梅洛在英国航空公司担任舱务员长达30年，却在2020年疫情期间遭遇裁员。1当时英国航空公司大幅裁减员工，其中约10,000名员工被直接裁减，总计42,000名员工收到了冗余通知。1为了保留职位，公司曾要求最资深的舱务员接受基本薪资削减，工会称实际薪资下降幅度为15%至35%。1德梅洛要求澄清具体薪资并请求考虑其工作年限后，被告知将被视为主动离职。1
面对失去30年职业生涯的困境，德梅洛已向Reading就业仲裁庭提起不公正解雇诉讼。1Reading就业仲裁庭去年对德梅洛和前同事做出了不利裁决，两人目前正在上诉。1除不公正解雇诉讼外，德梅洛还声称在兼职期间被欠假期津贴，引用2022年最高法院关于"兼职年度工人"权利的裁决作为法律依据。1英国航空公司则声称2025年就业仲裁庭已驳回相关诉讼，认为该公司的行动并非歧视性且公平合理。1
这一案件可能具有深远的行业影响。若德梅洛诉讼成功，航空业可能面临来自众多舱务员的类似索赔申请和巨大的财务负担，因为类似的轮班模式在整个航空业中普遍存在。1
Tess Demelo has launched an unfair dismissal case against British Airways after losing her position as a cabin crew member following three decades with the airline 1. Demelo was laid off in 2020 during the pandemic when BA cut approximately 10,000 employees, with around 42,000 staff members receiving redundancy notices in total 1. The dispute centers on how the airline handled the redundancy process and compensation following the layoffs.
BA had required its most senior cabin crew members to accept a 20 percent cut to their base salary to retain their positions, though unions contended the actual salary reductions ranged from 15 to 35 percent 1. When Demelo requested clarification on her specific salary figures and asked for time to consider the offer, she was informed she would be considered to have voluntarily resigned 1. An employment tribunal in Reading ruled against Demelo and a former colleague in 2024, but the pair are currently appealing the decision 1.
Beyond the dismissal claim, Demelo and her colleague are also alleging they were owed holiday pay for their time working part-time hours, citing a 2022 Supreme Court ruling that established rights for part-time annual workers 1. BA has maintained that its actions were neither discriminatory nor unfair 1. If successful, the legal action could trigger widespread repercussions across the aviation industry, as numerous cabin crew members could file similar claims for compensation given that comparable shift patterns are standard practice throughout the sector 1.
