Can you believe it!! More travel disruption!!
Now we have got rid of the ash cloud, well for the moment at least... BA has announced several strikes due to the long running dispute!!
Cabin crew will walk out for four separate five-day strikes in May and June. This is due to Unite members rejecting a fresh deal for cabin crew earlier this month.
The first strike will begin on 18 May, ending on 22 May, with the three further strikes beginning on 24 May, 30 May and 5 June. The strikes will mean that a total of 20 days which include spring bank holiday and school half-term holidays will be affected.
In a statement, Unite's joint general secretaries Derek Simpson and Tony Woodley blamed BA for forcing cabin crew to again resort to industrial action.
"There can be no industrial peace without meaningful negotiations and while management victimises trade unionists and uses disciplinary procedures in a witch-hunt," they said, claiming that a Unite approach made over the weekend had been rejected.
"The seven days' notice period is sufficient time for BA management to do the sensible thing and reopen meaningful negotiations," they added.
Do you have a holiday booked? Are you worried you won't get to go or maybe get stuck at your destination?
