British Airways heading for labor showdown

British Airways--reeling under continued operating losses--has imposed job cuts and other reductions. Although BA has labor agreements with some of its unions, cabin crew members are not on board and their union plans to call for a strike vote.

If a strike is authorized, it will be several months before any action begins. The current timeline looks like the December holiday season. A strike is not necessarily going to happen, especially if talks get underway. Stay tuned.
