It seems like British Airways’ long-running dispute with its cabin crew is some way from being resolved. Reuters is reporting this afternoon (Monday 10th May) that the Unite union has announced a series of strikes to begin on 18th May until 24th May. Further strikes will be held on 24th – 28th may, 30th May – 3rd June and 5th – 9th June. The union also said it would hold a further ballot for industrial action over the company’s conduct during the dispute.
The strikes, just like last time, will obviously impact travellers. For now, the position of insurance companies, World First amoung them, has not changed and payments will be made according to terms and conditions previously announced if, of course, the strikes go ahead. Policies purchased after 1635 GMT however will not be covered in respect of these forthcoming strikes on these days for Travel Delay or Abandonment.
What with the volcanic ash BA strikes, travel insurers have got some work on their hands. Watch this space.
