United Kingdom: British Airways Cabin Crews, National Rail Workers May Strike

By Larry Habegger | Permalink | No Comments | March 17th, 2010 | Trackback

British Airways cabin crews planned to strike for three days March 20-22 and four days March 27-30 ahead of the Easter holidays in an ongoing dispute that almost produced strikes at Christmas and New Year’s. If the strikes occur, the airline intends to use substitute crews to operate a substantial number of both its long-haul and short-haul flights. If a resolution is not reached, further strikes were planned for after April 14. In another labor dispute, a national railway strike may occur over Easter after two unions voted in favor of the action. If the strike occurs it would disrupt travel for millions of people and represent the first national rail strike since 1994. Union and management officials continued to negotiate to break the impasse.
