Unite to ballot BA crew on new strikes

10th June 2010 The union representing British Airways cabin crew said it was to ballot members on further industrial action that could disrupt summer travel, as the last of three five-day strikes neared its end.

"There will be another ballot and the outcome of that ballot will determine what we do," Unite's joint leader Derek Simpson told BBC radio on Wednesday. "It (the timing of the ballot) is a matter that is being discussed at the moment."

A new vote will take at least six weeks, making mid-July, when British schools start breaking up for summer, the earliest possible date for a new wave of stoppages.
