British Airways cabin crew are preparing to walk off the job for seven days later this month after talks with management broke down without an agreement, a trade union that represents the carrier’s 13,500 flight attendants said Friday.

The union, Unite, said members agreed Thursday to stage an initial three-day strike beginning March 20, followed by a further four-day action from March 27.
