BA cabin crew Unite in stupidity

BA cabin crew: Can there be anything more stupid in this time of job losses for the UNITE union and its BA cabin crew members to unite in stupidity.

UNITE need to get real and accept, the reality that if you go on strike perks are going to be taken away, and we applaud BA for taking this stance..

The two sides have been at the negotiating table in recent weeks but as we reported earlier in the week, hit a stumbling block over the withdrawal of travel perks from cabin crew who went on strike during the seven days of industrial action in March.

British Airways cabin crew union Unite is advising members to vote against the airline’s latest deal but has not announced further strike dates.

Unite, which represents 12,000 BA cabin crew, said it would be recommending that its members reject the offer in the long-running dispute over pay and working conditions.

Unite’s Tony Woodley said: “Despite important progress made in a number of respects, management has refused to budge on victimising cabin crew who had their travel concessions withdrawn as a result of the strike.” Time to get real Tony..

The union said that the dispute would go on but would not call further strike dates at this stage while passengers remain stranded abroad due to last weeks volcanic ash crisis.

A ballot of BA cabin crew members on the latest deal will be conducted by Unite during the next week.
