A 83% of the Unite members said yes to industrial action

Tuesday, March 29, 2011
An overwhelming 83% of the 6,981 Unite members who returned a valid paper in the fourth BA crew ballot to be held in two years said yes to industrial action. Some 10,000 were sent voting papers. In a Unite's statement its is said that the vote reflected the “continued resilience” of BA staff.
General secretary Len McCluskey said: “This vote shows that cabin crew remain determined to win justice. We urge BA's boardroom to see this as a clear message that they must think again about how to regain the trust and confidence of a significant part of their cabin crew operation. "We continue to be in discussions with the company to find a solution to this long-running dispute."
A terse statement from British Airways issued after the news of the ballot result broke said: “This is a time for co-operation, not confrontation. We began talks with Unite earlier this month, and those talks are continuing. We hope they will bring an end to this dispute, which is what the overwhelming majority of our cabin crew want.”
