BA cabin crew will not strike as peace talks continue
15.04.11
Leaders of the Unite union will not call a fresh wave of strikes by British Airways cabin crew to allow peace talks to continue. BA cabin crew voted last month voted in favour of taking fresh strike action, and the union until today to name strike dates, However, in a joint statement issued last night the two sides said that a 28 day extension had been agreed to allow peace talks to continue.
The statement said: ‘The current strike ballot mandate given by cabin crew means industrial action must be announced by 15th April. Both parties accept that this would severely undermine any attempt at a genuine settlement. Accordingly, BA is prepared to grant an extension of 28 days to the union [to name strike dates].’
