Has there been any MSM coverage of this judgement ? It is a brilliant victory for the men and their families who have been put through a lot of grief and it sets a very important marker for trade unionists and working people, who would be victimised for attempting to have basic standards and rights upheld.
Will there be any tangible and immediate relief and redress for the men in the context of the entire situation ? I take it they were awarded costs.

In this current anti Union/anti worker climate, it is brilliant to see this historic victory. Everyone in the trade union movement should join together to applaud these couragous activists.
Well done all.
Great result for the airport workers and all trade unionist activists in Northern Ireland.
This gives us all an extra protection against attacks by the bosses.
Im proud to have supported the airport workers all the way through this dispute.
