British Airways injunction result statement
17-Dec-2009 We are delighted for our customers that the threat of a Christmas strike has been lifted by the court.
It is a decision that will be welcomed by hundreds of thousands of families in the UK and around the world.
There was never any need for a strike and we hope that Unite will take this opportunity to reflect before deciding its next steps. We believe the public would want that too.
In recent days, we believe Unite has formed a better understanding of our position and of the ways in which we could move forward.
It has also become very clear that our customers do not believe that old-style trade union militancy is relevant to our efforts to move British Airways back toward profitability. Financial success is essential to build the kind of business our customers want and provide long-term opportunities for our staff.
