** BREAKING ** BA Staff vote to strike - by 81%

In a completely unexpected move(!) British Airways staff in the Unite union have voted to strike with 81% of staff polled voting in favour of industrial action.


However British Airlines Stewards and Stewardesses Association (BASSA) say this may not end in a strike.

Quote:

"We don't want to strike," said spokesperson Ken Ablard. "All we want is for BA to negotiate and not impose".

Legally 1 weeks notice must be served before industrial action. This puts the strike to the 1st March, however Unite has promised not to strike over the Easter period in a play to the travelling public.

More updates will follow.
