BA cabin crew vote for agreement

British Airways cabin crew have voted by 3-1 to accept a deal on pay, pensions and other employment issues to finally resolve a dispute which threatened to spark industrial action earlier this year.

The Transport and General Workers Union said the vote means 11,000 cabin crew have endorsed an agreement worth 18.75% in pensionable pay and accepted changes to help deal with the £2.1bn (€2.1bn) deficit in the airline’s pension scheme.
