Unite confirms strike dates for BA cabin crew
20-May-2010 Following today’s decision by the Court of Appeal to overturn the injunction restraining strike action by British Airways cabin crew, Unite the union today (20th May) confirmed that cabin crew would go on strike for five days from Monday May 24, as previously notified.
Joint general secretaries Derek Simpson and Tony Woodley said today: "British Airways management now has a chance over the next three days to address our outstanding concerns and seize the possibility for industrial peace. We hope it has the wisdom to do so. Failing that, cabin crew will once more be taking industrial action with our full support."
BA has already been notified that further strike action will take place for five days from May 30 and five days from June 5, should there be no settlement to the dispute.
