Sky News is reporting that talks between British Airways and it’s union have broken down without an agreement. No further talks are planned.
This means a strike is likely to happen, possibly as soon as next Thursday. No BA strike dates have been announced yet, but as soon as they are by the UNITE Union, we will let you know.
From the Guardian:
The TUC general secretary, Brendan Barber, who had been hosting the peace talks, said: “Despite a prolonged period of negotiations it has not been possible to reach agreement between BA and Unite. Both parties will be reflecting on the position and the TUC will be keeping in touch but at this stage no further negotiations are planned.”
The talks broke down after 24 hours of frantic negotiations. BA responded to the Unite union’s offer of a 2.6% pay cut with its own demands, prompting Unite to make further cost-saving proposals.
