The union representing BA cabin crew has said there will be no immediate announcement about strike dates reports the “BBC”. It had been expected to name dates following the breakdown of talks with British Airways on Wednesday evening. But communication between the two sides has been continuing to try and agree on a deal on cost cuts. Time is running out for the union, however, as it must call any strike action by 15 March to prevent its mandate for industrial action lapsing. It must then give at least seven days notice before a strike can begin. There is still the possibility, however, that BA could agree to extend its strike mandate to allow for further negotiations. British Airways said only that it was "open for talks".
