After the Rejection of the latest BA offer: I think its time for BA to say enough is enough. you are not going to cost us anymore harm to our brand or our finances by threatening too or actually going on strike..
But lets be honest here, what are cabin crew? The pilot just a glorified taxi driver and the stewards or trolley dollies handing out food and drink, not rocket science is it..
The Cabin crew union unite, has to give seven days notice of any action so the earliest any walkout can start would be May 17 if they announce a strike on Monday.
Voting figures: With just 81% of the 12,000 BA cabin crew who belong to the Unite union voting against the latest BA pay deal, which would have ended the long-running dispute over pay and conditions. The turnout was 71%…
So in effect you have 81% of the total turnout of 71% of the Unite members, actually voting to reject the Ba deal, not a huge commitment.. Just 6900 cast a vote to reject – just over half of the 12000 members..
Cabin crew representatives will meet Unite’s joint general secretaries, Derek Simpson and Tony Woodley, on Monday to discuss next moves in the dispute.
There has been speculation that the union could call up to 20 days of strike action broken down into five-day stoppages with 24-hour gaps. BA cabin crew went on strike for seven days in March.
