British Airways faces “massive disruption” over the busy festive travel period after cabin crew voted to take strike action.
Disruption is due to begin on December 22 and run until January 2.
Cabin crew voted by nine to one in favour of the strike action, with more than an 80% turnout.
The airline, responding to the result of THE ballot by members of the Unite union, said: “A 12-day strike would be completely unjustified and a huge over-reaction to the modest changes we have announced for cabin crew which are intended to help us recover from record financial losses.” BA added: “Unite’s cynical decision betrays a total lack of concern for our customers, our business and other employees within British Airways.”
The airline said it was “extremely disappointed” that Unite is planning massive disruption for hundreds of thousands of passengers over the Christmas/New Year holiday period.
