BA Cabin Crew Dispute - Latest

Unite tells British Airways to talk

Unite, has urged BA to hold fresh talks to avert a series of strikes.

Unite members will walk out for four separate five-day strikes.

The first strike will begin on 18 May, ending on 22 May, with further strikes planned on 24 May, 30 May and 5 June.

But Unite said BA could still prevent the walk-outs if it opened what it called "meaningful negotiations".

Unite members rejected a fresh deal for cabin crew earlier this month.

In a statement, Unite's joint general secretaries Derek Simpson and Tony Woodley blamed BA for forcing cabin crew to again resort to industrial action.


"The seven days' notice period is sufficient time for BA management to do the sensible thing and reopen meaningful negotiations," they said.
