British Airways cabin crew will strike for a further two weeks in August, including over the bank holiday weekend, in a long-running dispute over pay and staff sanctions.
Crew in the lower-paid mixed fleet, working out of Heathrow on long and short-haul flights, are already in the middle of a lengthy walkout and will extend the strike to cover the period from Wednesday 16th August to Wednesday 30th August.
Unite, Britain’s biggest union, said the strike action would go ahead unless a deal was reached with BA on wages and on the sanctioning of striking workers.
A spokeswoman for the airline said it was committed to flying all its customers to their destinations, by merging departures, leasing planes and crew from outside, and rebooking passengers on to other airlines.
