New BA cabin crew strike ballot planned

A renewed strike ballot by cabin crew union members working for British Airways is planned for next week.
The date of January 22 has been pencilled in and the Unite union must give the airline a week’s notice.
As a result of a High Court injunction secured by BA before Christmas, Unite is re-balloting its cabin crew members employed at BA for industrial action. That process is continuing, the union said.
The re-ballot comes despite the union and BA resuming talks aimed at finding a negotiated settlement to the dispute over cabin crew terms and conditions under the auspices of the TUC.
Representatives of both sides will be meeting the TUC to start the process of finding a resolution to the dispute, which led to a decision by the cabin crew to take strike action, subsequently prohibited by the High Court.
Unite joint general secretaries Derek Simpson and Tony Woodley said: “We have said all along that this dispute could only be resolved through negotiation, rather than imposition or litigation, so we are delighted to be joining BA management in talks at the TUC.
“We will be approaching those talks in a constructive spirit, seeking to find a settlement that meets the real concerns of BA’s skilled, loyal and professional cabin crew, while keeping the airline flying.”
