BA faces new strike threat

Monday, 10 May 20103 min read

British Airways faces the prospect of another damaging strike as cabin crew overwhelmingly rejected a company offer relating to the current industrial dispute.
Around 81% of the crew in the Unite union voted against the offer, in line with the union’s recommendation. There was a turnout of 71%.
Representatives of the crew will meet the union’s joint general secretaries, Derek Simpson and Tony Woodley, on Monday to discuss next moves in the dispute.
Derek Simpson and Tony Woodley said: "BA management should take note of their own employees’ strong rejection of their offer and immediately address the outstanding concerns.
"They should make no mistake that Unite is fully committed to supporting our members in furthering this dispute if no resolution is found."
