New BA cabin crew strike ballot announced

A new strike ballot of British Airways cabin crew is to be held next week.
The decision by the Unite union to hold a fresh vote in a week’s time on possible strike action came after more than a week of talks with the airline failed to resolve the dispute over staff levels and working conditions.
Unite will ballot its 12,000 members which make up 98% of the airline’s cabin crew.
A spokeswoman for the union said Unite had gone as far as it could in the talks to meet the airline’s demands but the ball was now in BA’s court.
Industrial action planned for Christmas was blocked after a court granted an injunction, declaring it illegal.
Any planned walk out following next week’s ballot is likely to be in early March, avoiding the majority of school half-term holidays in February.
