Unite calls off strike action at BAA's six airports
16 August 2010
Unite's national officers, Brian Boyd and Brendan Gold, said:
"Unite came to these negotiations with a strong mandate for
industrial action.
"Today's negotiations between Unite and BAA - with the assistance
of Acas - have been constructive and Unite is pleased to announce
it is calling off the strike action at BAA's six airports.
"Unite's negotiating committee will recommend a much improved offer
from BAA. Details of the agreement will be made public once BAA
staff have been advised of the improved offer.
"We would like to particularly thank Acas for its valued assistance
through these tough negotiations."
The union will now ballot its members on the details of the
offer.
