Crew Christmas..

Today it was announced that BA cabin crew will be taking some serious strike action over the festive period..!

They are planned to go on strike from the 22nd of Dec through till the 2nd of January 2010; the 12 day strike be inevitably affect a great number of Christmas travellers ruining any plans abroad. The union concerned stated that this action was being taken regrettably due to BA's lack of co-operation to reach an agreement and it is a shame that so many will suffer..!

The voting which took place some time ago was pretty unanimous with staff voting 9:1 in favour for the strikes, with an amazing 80% turnout. There is clearly some annoyance with the contractual changes and pay cuts being carried out.

With the huge implications and the Union willing to continue negotiations it will be interesting to see where this goes over the coming weeks..
