Well things are not at all moving between BA and Unite with ACAS abritrating, with the latest negotiations failing.
Whilst ACAS gave both sides new proposals on how to end the action, deadlock remains.
Sadly no new meetings are planned to end the actions, however ACAS’s doors are open.
Whilst the strike was about staffing levels and changes to services, it has now gone onto discussion about the removal of travel concessions from striking workers.
Of course, Unite is in fully bullying mood and is preparing to ballot in July for more strike action of no agreement is reached.
Both sides are open to talking. The question is – what to talk about?
BA has since launched a sale to try and pull back passengers in premium and economy cabins. Will this be all for nothing if the cabin crew go out on strike again?
It’s approaching a point where this dispute must end, with both sides having to negotiate – and sadly, the fine art of negotiation normally means both sides have to give up something….
