BA crew vote for Christmas strike

14th December 2009 British Airways cabin crew have voted in favour of a strike over job cuts and changes to staff contracts.

The strikes are set to begin on 22 December and run until 2 January, and are expected to cause significant disruption over the Christmas period.

Announcing the outcome of the vote, Len McCluskey, assistant general secretary of Unite, said they took the decision to strike with "a heavy heart".

He stressed that the union was still keen to avoid the strikes though further negotiation with British Airways.
