British Airways and its ground staff

GROUND STAFF at British Airways are likely to vote yes to an agreement with the GMB Union who are recommending the acceptance of a pay deal agreed “in principal” last week.  This agreement, if accepted by members, will conclude negotiations on this issue which began in January 2009.  Overall employment levels will fall by 500 (some 200 have already left), all by voluntary means and with reasonably enhanced severance arrangements and with provisions for redeployment.  The deal also included a one year pay freeze to October 2010. www.ba.com www.gmb.org.uk
