Union urges airline boss to ‘come out of bunker’ and talk

LEADERS of British Airways cabin crew last night urged the airline’s chiefexecutive to “come out of his bunker” and hold fresh talks as a three-day strike over jobs and cost-cutting came to an end.

Thousands of passengers who had their journeys disrupted because of the walkout are braced for further problems because of a four-day stoppage due to start on Saturday.

Tony Woodley, joint leader of Unite, said he had not received any positive response from the company to his plea for fresh talks and added chief executive Willie Walsh’s silence was “deafening”.
