BA workers reject cost-cutting plans
06/07/2009 - 13:45:22A mass meeting of British Airways workers today rejected the airline’s plans to cut costs by axing thousands of jobs and freezing pay.
More than 2,000 employees, including cabin crew, sent a “strong message” that they were not prepared to accept an “assault” on their pay, terms and conditions.
The workers, meeting close to Heathrow Airport, also voiced concern that they could face the sack if they resisted the cuts by measures including industrial action.
