BA Cabin Crew - No breakthrough

The latest attempt to secure an deal between British Airways and the Unite union made no progress according to ACAS.

Acas had given both sides a new set of proposals but said that they were unable to break the deadlock and move closer to a deal.

It said no new meetings were currently planned, but that it would monitor developments.

Unite has threatened to ballot over further walkouts in July if no agreement is reached with BA.

"Unite remains committed to finding a settlement which addresses its members' concerns," said a Unite spokesman "We remain in touch with Acas and with British Airways to that end."

The industrial action has cost the airline an estimated £150m. It recently said passenger numbers were 14.2% lower in May than a year earlier.

Acas said it would continue to offer its services to both sides.
