Time is running out to avert British Airways strike action

BA said the Turks and Caicos to Nassau leg had been cancelled but the plane would fly from Nassau.

Unite’s joint leaders, Tony Woodley and Derek Simpson, sent a letter to union members and MPs complaining that BA management had become “increasingly macho”, and accusing chief executive Willie Walsh of “union busting” tactics.

They claimed most of the cabin crew’s local union leaders were either suspended or awaiting disciplinary hearings, while 30 other union members had been suspended on “spurious grounds”.

A BA spokesman said: “The union has been threatening strikes at British Airways for months. Our business is being continually damaged by uncertainty and Unite is now seeking to create more.”
