BA possible strike this summer

From the FT

British Airways is facing the threat of new disruption this summer after the Unite union unveiled plans to ballot check-in staff over strike action at London’s Heathrow airport.

The union on Monday said it would ballot 500 staff at the UK’s busiest airport in a dispute over pay — a vote in favour would pave the way for action in July to cause maximum disruption during the summer peak.

BA said an offer of a 10 per cent pay rise for this year had been rejected by staff, and that the union’s plans were “extremely disappointing”.

…

The 500 staff being balloted represents about half of the Heathrow customer services team. The ballot will run from June 7 to 27.
