EasyJet narrowly averts summer strike threat
Easyjet cabin crew have accepted a pay deal, narrowly averting the threat of summer strikes.
Some 2,000 Unite members voted 52% to 48% in favour of accepting the combined pay proposal which included a pay award of 4.1% for cabin crew and 5.1% for cabin managers backdated to January 2015 and an increase in holiday pay allowance.
Unite regional officer Kevin Hall said: "While we are pleased that the dispute is settled and there will be no disruption for those jetting away on their summer holidays, this dispute is a wake-up call to the management.
"The company needs to start smelling the coffee about the pay and conditions of its staff that emerged during this dispute when it comes to future pay claims."
The airline said that it was pleased to confirm that its UK cabin crew have voted to accept its combined pay proposal and that the vote in favour means there is no longer any threat of industrial action.
It said: "easyJet values the contribution its cabin crew make and is pleased to have reached a positive conclusion so that its crew can continue to provide the excellent, friendly service our passengers expect and they can have complete reassurance that their travel plans will not be disrupted this summer."
