British Airways cabins crew to stage new strikes

UPDATE (20 May 2010): Unite the union today (20th May) confirmed that cabin crew would go on strike for five days from Monday May 24, as previously notified.
Joint general secretaries Derek Simpson and Tony Woodley said today: “British Airways management now has a chance over the next three days to address our outstanding concerns and seize the possibility for industrial peace.  We hope it has the wisdom to do so.  Failing that, cabin crew will once more be taking industrial action with our full support.” [src.]

UPDATE (18 May 2010): Britain's High Court has approved British Airways’ injunction against a 20-day walk-put by its cabin crew members. BA said that flights over the next few days will still be disrupted because it is too late to unwind contingency plans already put in place. Visit ba.com for more info!
