Adds to current 16-day walkout
LONDON (Reuters) — The Unite trade union has said the members of its British Airways mixed fleet will go on strike for a further 14 days starting July 19.
British Airways — owned by International Airlines Group — cabin crew has been in a long-running dispute over pay, and has been on strike several times already in 2017.
The current action is in addition to a 16-day strike currently underway — which began on July 1 — the union said on Wednesday.
"In the current strike period, we are operating 99.5 per cent of our normal schedule. Instead of calling further completely unnecessary strikes, Unite should allow its members a vote on the pay deal we reached two months ago," British Airways told Reuters.
