Unite confirms strike dates for BA cabin crew
20th May 2010
Following today’s decision by the Court of Appeal to overturn
the injunction restraining strike action by British Airways cabin
crew, Unite the union today (20th May) confirmed that cabin crew
would go on strike for five days from Monday May 24, as previously
notified.
Joint general secretaries Derek Simpson and Tony Woodley said
today: “British Airways management now has a chance over the next
three days to address our outstanding concerns and seize the
possibility for industrial peace. We hope it has the wisdom
to do so. Failing that, cabin crew will once more be taking
industrial action with our full support.”
BA has already been notified that further strike action will
take place for five days from May 30 and five days from June 5,
should there be no settlement to the dispute.
