Unite launch nine-day âghost strikeâ against 24% pay cut
BA ground staff voting unanimously for strike action in August â strike action begins on Xmas Day but the union has called of all pickets
BRITISH Airways Cargo workers begin nine days of strike action on Christmas Day, however their union, Unite, has called off all pickets.
Under BAâs fire and rehire plan, workers are losing up to 24 per cent of their pay, which amounts to between £5,000-£11,000 per annum.
Strike action will begin at 00:01hrs on Friday 25 December and will end at 24:00hrs on Saturday 2 January.
Unite said: âAs a result of Heathrow being in Tier 4 and the very high levels of Covid-19 in the capital, and despite workers having the right to picket, Unite has chosen not to organise pickets during the initial strike and it will not be organising any physical demonstrations for the same reason.â
