British Air faces strike as talks on contract fail

Article Abstract:

Following failed contract negotiations, ground staff at British Airways have threatened to strike, while airline management is proposing that contract talks be referred to binding arbitration. Under the direction of chief executive officer Rod Eddington, British Airways has seen a rise in passenger traffic and a streamlining of European operations that included large layoffs. A strike during the busy summer months could affect the company's fragile hold on growth.
