AFP/File – British Airways (BA) cabin crew began a three-day strike over pay and conditions which will ground hundreds
LONDON (AFP) – British Airways (BA) cabin crew on Saturday began a three-day strike over pay and conditions which will ground hundreds of flights, but the airline said many of its passengers were able to fly.
Some 12,000 members of Britain's biggest trade union, Unite, walked out at midnight Friday, hours after face-to-face talks between unions and and BA chief executive Willie Walsh broke down.
More than 1,000 flights are set to be cancelled in the first phase of the action, with a second walkout to follow for four days from March 27, targeted at the busy Easter holiday period.
