BA cabin crew look certain to strike after airline refuses to rule out sackings | Business | guardian.co.uk
A strike by British Airways cabin crew looks certain to go ahead, after the airline refused to guarantee it would not sack union officials at the heart of the industrial action.
In a move that dramatically raises the stakes over an increasingly fraught dispute, BA is now on a path that could see a clearout of senior shop stewards at Bassa, the Unite trade union cabin crew branch. Seven members of Bassa's committee are still facing disciplinary proceedings that were launched after talks between Unite and BA began last year.
