BA talks fail, strike dates to be announced soon

London, Mar 12: With talks between the British Airways (BA) and the cabin crew Unite collapsing yet again, the union is expected to announce strike dates soon.

Since the union is expected to adhere to a 7-day notice period before beginning the strike, the cabin crew may be going on the strike as early as next Friday, Mar 19.

However, the union has promised to not strike over Easter.

The latest negotiations over the pay and staffing levels dispute failed as the airline rejected the cost-saving plan from the union.

While the airline cited that the union's proposed package meant less savings for the carrier, the union alleged that the management was taking a step back everytime the crew took a step forward.
