BA cabin crews to strike after talks breakdown

THOUSANDS of British Airways cabin crew are to stage a three-day strike following the breakdown of talks aimed at resolving a row over sickness absence, pay and staffing, it was announced last night.

The flight attendants will walk out from January 29 to 31, threatening travel chaos for the airline’s customers.

The Transport and General Workers Union warned there will be two further three-day stoppages in February unless the dispute is resolved.
