BA Strike

Asked if the Government planned to intervene in the BA strike, the PMS said that there was nothing to add to what the Transport Secretary said over the weekend; a strike was not going to resolve the outstanding issues and we encouraged the two parties to resume talks as soon as possible.

Asked if the Prime Minister thought that BA staff should cross the picket line, the PMS said that the Prime Minister wanted to see the dispute resolved as quickly as possible; it was not in the interest of the company, the staff (in the long term), or the travelling public. We encouraged the two sides to get together and continue discussing the issues.

Put that before the general election the Prime Minister had asked BA workers to cross the picket line, the PMS said that the Prime Minister wanted to see as little disruption to passengers as possible.
