Union will not announce BA strike dates during talks
24.02.10
British Airways passengers face confusion after its cabin crew union said it would not reveal when they would give details about any strike. There had been an expectation that Unite would announce details of when and for how long workers would strike at a mass meeting planned for tomorrow. However, a spokesman for the union, said they would not announce any strike dates while it was negotiating with the management of BA.
A spokesman said: ‘Negotiations are ongoing. We do not want to create any sense that we are not serious about these discussions, and announcing strike dates would do that. We would only announce strike dates when all other options have been exhausted.
Over the next few days a series of meetings will be held before Unite decides whether to set strike dates, which would hit the airline hard in the busy run-up to Easter. While many travel experts applauded Unite's willingness to talk to BA, they said it was frustrating for passengers to be kept in the dark, creating confusion and uncertainty.
