Unite urge BA board to step in
21.03.10
The Unite union has appealed to the board of British Airways to try and resolve the increasingly bitter dispute between the airline and its cabin crew, the BBC reports. Joint general secretary Tony Woodley wrote in a letter to union members that he would ask the board to ‘take matters in hand and restart negotiations’. These talks would aim to avert next weekend's planned strikes, he said.
Cabin crew are into the second day of a three-day strike. They also plan to strike for four days from next Saturday (27 March), which would affect the early Easter getaway. However, the BBC says that aviation experts believe Unite's appeal would have little effect, as BA's board would have given its backing to the airline's current negotiating position.
