20 July 2010 Unite joint general secretary, Tony Woodley, said: “Willie Walsh’s attempt to browbeat his employees into accepting his deal has failed miserably. For the fourth time in this dispute, cabin crew have given BA management the thumbs-down in a ballot. “In a free vote - without any recommendation from the union - only 15 per cent of crew accepted the deal that Willie Walsh claimed would be resoundingly accepted. “BA cannot build industrial peace on such a flimsy foundation. “This is a wake up call to BA. If Willie Walsh wants to lift the spectre of strike action from his schedule once and for all, he must come back with an offer acceptable to more than a tiny minority of the cabin crew. We are ready to talk.” For further information contact Ciaran Naidoo on 07768 931315 |
