BA Strike

Asked if the Prime Minister had a view on the planned BA strike potentially being an international one following discussions between Unite and Teamsters, the PMS said the Prime Minister’s view remained the same; this was something that would be deeply unsatisfactory for British Airways customers. The Prime Minister was being constantly updated and encouraged both sides to come together and reach an agreement as soon as possible.

Asked if the Prime Minister or Lord Mandelson had invited the parties to Downing Street for talks, the PMS said that we wanted to encourage the parties to come together, but this was a private company and ultimately it was a matter for the company to resolve with as much help as necessary.

Asked if the Prime Minister might intervene himself, the PMS said that we were urging Unite and the BA management to continue negotiations and move away from a strike.
