Well I’ve gone a few days without mentioning the BA vs Unite strike, so fittingly as the current round of stoppages are coming to the end, Unite has come along acting all big and strong saying it’s preparing to ballot its members again on further strike action at BA.
Oh LOVELY.
The current legal protection to strike will end on the 11th June. For Unite to continue to strike, it must conduct a fresh ballot.
Willie Walsh is bedding in for further action, for as long as it takes for it to end, with Unite moaning about the travel perks that were withdrawn for those who went on strike and how to reinstate it.
ACAS is hoping that talks between the two sides will resume – after Tony Woodley has returned from Cypress I suspect.
Well, this is going to run on. And not good for the long term outlook of British Airways. Airlines like Emirates are now on your coat tails from the high end, and Ryanair at the low end….
