BA strike situation

UNITE, the trade union, is to open a strike ballot today (25 January) for BA cabin crew after its initial call to stand down was banned by the High Court.  If the strike does take place, and by all accounts the action call is very vague, the walkout could begin from the beginning of March but according to the union not involve the Easter holiday.  The potential action will definitely have a profound consequence on British Airways bookings for that period.  In a statement, BA said it was "saddened but not surprised" that the union had called another ballot and asked for ground staff to volunteer to be trained as cabin crew. www.ba.com www.unitetheunion.com
