Strike action is suspended after a fresh pay offer from British Airways, GMB have announced.

Wide ranging talks were held with a significant move on pay and conditions from BA. A ballot on the offer will now go to members.

 

Nadine Houghton, GMB National Officer, said: “All our members were asking for was what they were owed. British Airways finally moving on pay is long overdue.

“It is very clear that workers organising and threatening industrial action is what has delivered. All our members - who are predominantly low paid women – wanted was to be given back the pay cuts BA imposed on them during the pandemic, threatening them with fire and rehire if they said no.

“These are frontline workers facing anger from customers daily. The least they deserved was fair pay.

“The final decision on any next steps will be taken by them.”
