Thanks for the updates everyone. Glad it is good news, at least for now over the Christmas and New Year period.

@ Colin

I don’t think Unite can appeal, well that’s what I heard on the radio. So, I guess they will have to ballot their members again and we’ll see if it is the same result. The BBC have said any future strikes are unlikely to happen until towards the end of January.

Watch this space though.

UPDATE

A strike by British Airways cabin crew planned for Christmas has been declared illegal in a High Court ruling. The court agreed with BA that the cabin crew’s union, Unite, had not correctly balloted its members on the strike action. BA complained that staff in the process of leaving the company had been balloted, breaching industrial relations law.

The 12-day strike was due to begin on 22 December.

It is not clear if Unite will try to appeal the decision.
