LONDON, June 23 — British Airways staff at London’s Heathrow airport voted today to strike over pay, threatening disruption at one of Europe’s busiest aviation hubs during an already chaotic summer for air travellers.
The strike would likely take place during the peak summer holiday period over the next two months, GMB said, warning Heathrow would likely face a “summer of strikes”. Workers must give two weeks’ notice to BA before carrying out any strike. “Despite the extremely challenging environment... we made an offer of a 10 per cent payment which was accepted by the majority of other colleagues. We are fully committed to work together to find a solution.” Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s spokesman said British Airways should make contingency plans to minimise disruption.
If you ruin your customers' holiday and lose them hard earned money, then expect a backlash. If these strikes go ahead, then people should just boycott BA. Use other airlines.
