The cabin crew at British Airways (BA) will vote on whether a peace agreement is to be reached with the management or whether strikes should be continued. The cabin crew had organized seven days of strikes last month.
Union officials have stated that chances of holding more strikes rested heavily on the outcome of the negotiations to be held this week. Industrial action is being touted as the final alternative.
It is being reported that the two disputing parties were heading close to reaching a peace deal on the subject of working practices, which was the primary reason for the dispute. However, matters such as revocation of striking members’ travel perks and 50 disciplinary cases against union members are still under consideration.
A poll involving 12,000 cabin crew members will by a vote of majority decide on whether or not to accept a proposal which was outlined following the negotiations between Tony Woodley, the joint general secretary of Unite and the airline management.
