Rally to support BA cabin crew
19th March 2010
10.30am, Saturday 20th March
Bedfont Football Club, The Orchard, Hatton Road,
Bedfont, Middlesex TW14 8QT
Cabin crew will walk out just after midnight (00.01 hours, 20th
March) after BA failed to table acceptable proposals on the issues
of job cuts and crews' fears that management is driving down
standards at the airline.
Unite will hold a rally in support of the thousands of brave men
and women who are showing the courage to stand up to British
Airways by taking strike action.
These Unite members understand the pressures the recession
places on the company. But they believe BA's future and 40,000
jobs, depend on it staying a premier airline. For over one year
crew have tried to negotiate. They've even offered to help save the
service by making sacrifices - up to £62 million in savings. But
BA under the management of Willie Walsh won't listen.
The speakers at the event include Len McCluskey, Unite assistant
general secretary.
The media is welcome to attend.
