BA strike update day 22
9th June 2010
Day 22, the final day at Bedfont FC, BA's bill for the 22-day
strike alone stands at £154 million.
Following revelations in yesterday's press that not only are
volunteer crew being rude to and about passengers, but that
homophobic slurs against crew are going unpunished by BA,
today will see a show of solidarity with strikers wearing
pink in support of colleagues under attack.
Len McCluskey, Unite assistant general secretary, will address
cabin crew at Bedfont at 1pm. He will praise crew for their
dignified stance throughout the dispute in the face of
unprecedented intimidation by BA management.
Yesterday, BA once again failed to operate 43 per cent of its
reduced schedule. Today, will see a reduced schedule also
with continued heavy reliance on other airlines including Czech
Air, Jet 2 and Aer Lingus to keep the European schedule
functioning, and Iberia and Qantas doing the same with the long
haul routes.
