Unite to sue British Airways over removal of travel perks for cabin crew

 

The Unite trade union claims the airline’s action is a breach of European human rights legislation.

 

It is estimated that BA’s move has hit between 2,000 to 3,000 cabin crew who took part in industrial action earlier in the year in protest at the loss-making airline’s cost-cutting package.

Yep today

Millions of London Underground passengers began their scramble for space on London's buses, boats and pavements this morning as a series of 24-hour strikes by tube workers disrupted the capital's transport system.

 

Today, there were suspensions and delays on all the tube lines apart from the Northern line. There were no services at all on the Circle, Piccadilly, Victoria and Waterloo and City lines.

 

The mayor of London, Boris Johnson, has ordered marshalled bike rides, 100 more buses and room for 10,000 extra boat passengers, but sources admitted that many of the 3 million commuters who rely on the tube would be reaching for their walking boots.

 

"If the strike is well supported then it will be a challenging and difficult day for a lot of people," said a source at the mayor's Transport for London body.

 

The first wave of strikes began at 5pm last night, when maintenance workers staged a walkout, due to be followed at 9pm by drivers, station staff and signallers at the RMT and TSSA unions.
