Willie Walsh has amazingly reversed his decision not to restore travel perks to his striking work force by announcing the travel concessions will be restored as of the 26th October. This has been a major stumbling block in the feud between BA and Unite over pay and conditions which resulted in a total of 22 days of strike action which cost BA £150 million.
Though it is still not clear who will receive the perks which give the benefactor 90% off travel costs as BA has not restored seniority in its ranks after many workers went to the back of the queue after taking part in the industrial action.
BA stated that seniority would be re-instated on a good behaviour basis over the next three years. This latest move by BA has left many feeling that an agreement will soon be reached between both parties and put to bed the long running argument.
