It seems that BAA has no fight in it, and has rolled over to Unite with an improved pay offer made it it’s members after a day of talks on Monday to attempt to solve the dispute.
The impacted strike would had hit all BAA Airports including Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow, London Heathrow, London Stansted and Southampton
After 9 hours of talks, an agreement was reached, but no news of the actual offer has been given out.
Both BAA and Unite are “confident” that a strike could be avoided with the new offer. Unite will ballot it’s members (of which last time there was a measly 50% turn out to force this dispute) with results due in three weeks.
So yes, the strike is off. If you’re planning to travel, you can now book with a bit more confidence.
Until Unite show their faces with the British Airways dispute. Expect that to flare up again in September.
