Striking BA cabin crew will lose travel perks
Too bloody right!
British Airways has warned cabin crew that they will be stripped of travel benefits if they take part in a strike over staffing cuts.
BA said that any employee who joined the walkout would no longer receive discounted or free fares. Many French and Spanish cabin crew rely on the BA travel scheme to commute to the airline’s Gatwick and Heathrow bases and would be left out of pocket by the move, according to trade union sources. The Unite trade union, which is locked in an increasingly bitter dispute with BA, described the move as “shocking” and “another act of provocation”.
A BA spokeswoman confirmed that the airline has written to its 13,400 cabin crew ahead of a strike ballot that opens on Monday to warn that taking industrial action would see participating staff lose travel and pay benefits.
