BA cabin crew strike date delayed

Wednesday, 26 Feb, 2010 0

 

Cabin crew in dispute with British Airways have stepped back from announcing a date for strike action.
 
Instead they have called on the Unite union to try and negotiate a settlement with the airline over crew cuts and changes to working arrangements.
 
Unite members meeting yesterday unanimously backed the work of their negotiating team attempting to resolve the current dispute with the company, the union said.
 
The meeting empowered the union negotiating team to continue their work to reach a settlement in the row, and to propose strike dates for authorisation if it proves impossible to reach such an agreement through negotiation.
 
Unite’s BA cabin crew gave an overwhelming mandate for such action in a ballot.
 
Assistant general secretary Len McCluskey said: “Only negotiation, not intimidation or litigation can keep BA flying.”
