BA CABIN CREW DISPUTE

Early day motion 712, tabled 26 January 2010 by John McDonnell (Labour). Signed by 34 members.

That this House considers that the recent emails sent to British Airlines Stewards and Stewardesses Association members of Unite by BA's management threatening to withdraw travel and other benefits from staff taking strike action and containing the company's proposals to train alternative crews to break the strike are examples of the bullying and threatening management style that has undermined the industrial relations climate in the company; and calls on BA's management to engage in meaningful negotiations to resolve this dispute.

Signatures by party: Labour 29, Liberal Democrat 2, Independent 1, Plaid Cymru 1, Scottish National Party 1.
