Unite to announce result of BA cabin crew ballot

11th December 2009

• Press Briefing
• WHEN: 2pm, Monday, December 14th
• WHERE: Sandown Racecourse, Portsmouth Road, Esher KT10 9AJ

A press briefing will be held this Monday, December 14th, to announce the result of the industrial action ballot of BA cabin crew.

Unite, the leading union in BA, will hold the media briefing at 2pm at Sandown Racecourse, where a mass meeting of BA cabin crew will also be taking place.

The media are asked to note that the mass meeting of Unite members will be a CLOSED meeting.

Just over 12,500 cabin crew have been balloted following BA's imposition in November of new working arrangements, including the reduction of crew numbers on all flights, which cabin crew say hits passenger service, as well as their earnings and career prospects. Unite has been pressing BA to come to a negotiated solution, however the airline rejected this in favour of imposed changes.
