BA mixed fleet crew to strike for seven days

Thursday, 27 Feb, 2017 0

BA’s mixed fleet cabin crew have announced another strike – this time for a whole week.

Members of Unite working as cabin crew for the airline’s mixed fleet will walk out for seven days from 00:01 Friday March 3 to 23:59 Thursday March 9.

This will take the total number of strike days to 26.

Unite national officer Oliver Richardson said: "Striking mixed fleet cabin crew continue to demonstrate their determination to achieve a fair deal on pay in the face of British Airways’ bully boy tactics.

"It is clear from the £2 billion rise in IAG’s pre-tax profits that British Airways can afford to address low pay among its mixed fleet cabin crew and settle this dispute.

"We would urge British Airways to meet Unite at Acas to resolve this dispute, as it claims to want to, and enable us to cancel these further damaging strike days."
