BA staff strike for 2 weeks

BRITISH Airways cabin crew are to stage a two-week strike.

About 1,400 Unite members will walk out from Saturday, July 1, to Sunday, July 16, in a dispute over pay.

The union will also take legal action over the “blacklisting” of members who walked out previously and the cutting of bonuses and travel concessions.

Unite chief Howard Beckett said the strike was “entirely avoidable” and was “deeply disappointing”.
