Open top 'Brutish Airways' bus tours city to warn
investors
19th May 2010
On the day the high court decides on whether to uphold BA's
injunction against the BA cabin crew strike, an open top double
decker "Brutish Airways" bus will head to the City of London to
warn the airline's top investors that Willie Walsh is playing fast
and loose with their money.
Between them the investors targeted by Unite hold shareholdings
in the company worth over 50 per cent of BA’ total shares.
- When: 20th May 2010 at 9.00am
- Where: The Bus will set off on its tour from Unite House, 128
Theobalds Road, Holborn, WC1X 8TN
A representative from the cabin crew will deliver a letter from
Unite's joint general secretaries urging the investors to use their
influence to bring stability back to the airline. The letter will
be delivered to each of the following top BA investors in the city
of London including Blackrock inc, BA's biggest investor (see
table*).
The union will also write to other investors which are not based
in the City including, Scottish Widows, Iberia and Standard
Life.
