New BA cabin crew strike ballot planned<\/font><\/b>
\n11 January 2010<\/i><\/p>\n

A renewed strike ballot by cabin crew union members working for British Airways is planned for next week.<\/p>\n

The date of January 22 has been pencilled in and the Unite union must give the airline a week\u0092s notice.<\/p>\n

As a result of a High Court injunction secured by BA before Christmas, Unite is re-balloting its cabin crew members employed at BA for industrial action. That process is continuing, the union said.<\/p>\n

The re-ballot comes despite the union and BA resuming talks aimed at finding a negotiated settlement to the dispute over cabin crew terms and conditions under the auspices of the TUC.<\/p>\n

Representatives of both sides will be meeting the TUC to start the process of finding a resolution to the dispute, which led to a decision by the cabin crew to take strike action, subsequently prohibited by the High Court.<\/p>\n

Unite joint general secretaries Derek Simpson and Tony Woodley said: \u0093We have said all along that this dispute could only be resolved through negotiation, rather than imposition or litigation, so we are delighted to be joining BA management in talks at the TUC.<\/p>\n

\u0093We will be approaching those talks in a constructive spirit, seeking to find a settlement that meets the real concerns of BA\u0092s skilled, loyal and professional cabin crew, while keeping the airline flying.\u0094 <\/p>\n

\t\t\t\tPossible strike date already planned?<\/b>
\nI assume that if Unite are balloting members on 22 January and (assuming vote is again in favour of strike) they must then give BA the statutory notice – then it would appear that Unite have purposefully timed this so that any strike might coincide with the February half term holidays. Have they not learnt any lessons after the Xmas debacle? I do hope the crew think long and hard about what a potential strike will\/will not achieve before casting their votes.<\/p>\n
