British Airways cabin crew reject final offer

UNITE, the trade union representing most British Airways cabin staff, was still deliberating on causing more disruption as AERBT was published.  Of the just under 11,000 members only 5,105 bothered to vote with 1,686 in favour of the deal and 3,419 against.  This is positive news for British Airways, who says that this means 73% of the cabin crew didn’t reject the offer.  Now they are urging Unite to return to the table to accept the deal and end the dispute.  A spokesman for the union said that their leaders are due to meet with staff representatives to decide on what they will do next.  In the meantime passengers are keeping away from the airline in their droves, not sure if their planned flight will go ahead. www.ba.com www.unitetheunion.com
