BA won’t face Easter strike
21.01.10
British Airways cabin crew will not striking over the Easter holiday in their dispute over working conditions, the Unite union said. Its plans for a 12-day Christmas strike that would have disrupted travel for 1 million people were attacked by passengers before a judge declared the strike vote void. The judge also warned against future strikes timed to cause maximum disruption.
A second strike ballot will be held from January 25, which will take around a month to complete. This offered the prospect of a strike over the very busy Easter period. However, a spokesman for the union said: ‘We will not call such action over the Easter holiday period. We are making this announcement now so families can plan their travel arrangements in confidence.’
However, a BA spokesman responded: ‘According to Unite’s ballot timetable, it is threatening the travel plans of families and business people from March 1. Assurances about an unspecified Easter holiday period will be of little comfort to them.’
