Unite asks shareholders to press BA management on deal
13.07.10
British Airways shareholders will face a union protest before the airline's annual meeting today in London, for the second year running. The Unite union, currently engaged in a long running and bitter cabin crew dispute with BA, will be handing letters to shareholders as they attend the meeting in Westminster.
The 12,000 flight attendants are in the second week of voting on the airlines’s latest proposal. While the Unite union says the offer may prove acceptable, the proposals do not address the withdrawal of travel benefits and the suspension of around sixty striking workers, some of whom have already been dismissed.
The letter urges shareholders to press the BA board to end its ‘management by conflict’ in the 18 month old dispute over staffing levels and pay that has already cost BA around £150 million.
