Unite has won its appeal to overturn the ruling that forced its members to abort the first of the planned strikes that should have started last Tuesday. The strikes are now officially back on, with next Monday looking the likely start date for the first five day walk-out, unless of course an agreement is reached.
The reaction to the successful appeal was the chanting of “we are the champions” by Unite members waiting outside the courtroom, but Derek Simpson a Unite official stated it was not a day for triumph as they shouldn’t have been in this position in the first place. He also called for BA to go the extra mile in reaching an agreement.
However defiant a BA stated, that Unite strikes had twice failed and would fail again, claiming thousands of Unite members would ignore the strikes and come to work regardless and help BA to fly 70% of its customers.
