BA strike to go ahead after last-ditch deal hopes collapse
British Airways cabin crew will go ahead with a wave of strikes from tomorrow after hopes of a last-ditch deal collapsed.
The joint leader of Unite, Tony Woodley, had offered to suspend the industrial action if the airline gave back travel concessions, but the war of words between the two sides continued, with BA saying it was disappointed he had taken to negotiation via the media rather than through Acas.
