Christmas strike by BA cabin crew suspended
Christmas Day and Boxing Day strikes by British Airways cabin crew have been suspended.
Unite the union said the decision follows a revised offer from the airline, which will now be put to a ballot.
Unite general secretary Len McCluskey said: "Over the past four days, and indeed the past two years, this union has worked tirelessly to find a resolution to the issues causing our members concern.
"We now have a new offer from the company which we will put to our members. The two-day strike over Christmas and Boxing Day is now suspended.
"It will be for our members now to decide if British Airways has done enough to meet their concerns.
"I want to pay tribute to our cabin crew members who have been determined to achieve a negotiated settlement. Their commitment to secure a better deal for all of their colleagues is something we should all admire."
The dispute involves more than 2,700 ‘mixed fleet’ crew who have joined since 2010 and are on lower salaries than other staff.
