BRITISH AIRWAYS Christmas strike has been averted following a High Court decision that the Unite ballot was illegal. The union has called for another vote whilst BA says that common sense must prevail.

The Christmas holiday will probably provide for an unofficial, but very necessary, cooling off period for both sides. www.ba.com unitetheunion.com
