BA & Unite still at loggerheads

BA & Unite are still to reach an agreement in the long and drawn out battle regarding pay and conditions. A battle that has so far resulted in 22 days of strike action carried out by the Unite Union that has cost BA in excess of £150m.

Reconciliation service ACAS has stated that it had given both sides new proposals last week but no agreement had been reached as the fear of another strike during July looked increasingly likely.

The original strikes were over changes to staffing levels and pay disputes but now are clearly over the travel concessions removed by BA for striking cabin crew workers.
