BA - Unite talks break down

17th June 2010 The latest attempt to put an end to the long running dispute between British Airways and its cabin crew has come to nothing.

Acas, which put new proposals on the table at the end of last week, said it met with each party separately yesterday but failed to break the deadlock.

An Acas spokesperson said:

"The conciliation service, Acas, tabled a potential way forward last week to BA and Unite with the aim of trying to break the deadlock in this long-running dispute. Having given the parties time to reflect upon this initiative, Acas met separately with the parties yesterday, 15th June.

"Regrettably, the parties were unable to move closer to an agreement. At present there are no further meetings planned but Acas will monitor developments and our services remain available."
