Official announcements from the Unite Union have confirmed that British Airways cabin crew's planned strike of four-days will go ahead as planned as no negotiations have been set for Friday. Travelers have now started to brace themselves for yet another travel chaos right before the busy Easter holiday season.
"No talks are set and strikes begin again Saturday. We remain in touch with the Trades Union Congress (TUC) regarding the possibility of talks but nothing is planned at present. All BA strike-breaking statistics should not be regarded as credible after last weekend's smokescreen", said a Unite spokesperson.
Last Friday, a proposal was put forward by BA, which it stressed might just end up becoming the basis of a much required agreement, but since then, the company has blatantly refused to put the initial offer back on the discussion table or once again put in place all the travel perks that it had snatched away from the strikers.
BA's Chief Executive Willie Walsh had shared that he was all set to meet and negotiate with the union to work out the issues with cabin crew, but had no intentions or plans of undertaking this task before the latest strike begins.
Mr. Walsh has said that despite the strike, which has come as a precursor to the bigger walk-out planned for April, BA would be flying about three-quarters of the travelers booked with the airline over the weekend.
