BA faces strike from Monday

Thursday, 21 May, 2010 0

 

 
 
Cabin crew union Unite has confirmed that the first five days of strike action at British Airways will start from Monday, May 24.
 
The move follows today’s decision by the Court of Appeal to overturn the injunction restraining strike action by BA cabin crew,
 
Joint general secretaries Derek Simpson and Tony Woodley said: “British Airways management now has a chance over the next three days to address our outstanding concerns and seize the possibility for industrial peace.  We hope it has the wisdom to do so. 
 
"Failing that, cabin crew will once more be taking industrial action with our full support.”
 
BA has already been notified that further strike action will take place for five days from May 30 and five days from June 5, should there be no settlement to the dispute, Unite said.
