BRITISH Airways employee Nadia Eweida, who won a human rights case to wear a crucifix at work, is launching fresh legal action over alleged victimisation and harassment by managers for whistle-blowing.

Ms Eweida successfully brought a religious discrimination claim against BA at the European Court of Human Rights in 2013 after a long-running dispute broke out over the airline’s new uniform policy in 2006.

The airport check-in worker, who still works for BA, alleges she was singled out for mistreatment when she returned to work in 2007.
