Following Rod's management briefing this afternoon there is news that the TGWU, Amicus and GMB have all registed a formal failure to agree following discussions on the pay deal. In addition, TGWU "considering balloting members on strike action".

So - how long before the actual strike?

With the parts 'computer' problems that BA apparently has, it would be a good time for employees to strike, as aircraft may be grounded anyway.

Really good planning from the unions' perspective...:p :p :p :uhoh:

They want a 4.5% pay rise this year - BA have offered 2% this year plus 1% next year and the year after as a "take it or leave it" 3 year deal.
