THE BRITISH Airways cabin crew union, Unite, has announced fresh strike dates in its dispute with the airline. The cabin crew is going to walk out for four separate five day strikes, in the next two months. The first strike will begin on May 18 and end on May 22, which will be followed by the next three strikes, beginning on May 24, May 30 and June 5.
The cause of the strike being the rejection of a fresh deal by the Unite for cabin crew earlier this month. The union sought to resolve the dispute over pay and working conditions. Details of the deal were not given, but Unite said that British Airways had failed to restore the travel perks which were withdrawn from staff involved in the previous strikes in March.
BA has ensured that all flights will run from London's Gatwick and City airports. The airline has been speaking to a number of carriers to lease in extra aircraft to support the shorthaul schedule. It also plans to obtain thousands of seats from other airlines to help its customers rebook in case the original flight is cancelled.
