easyJet faces summer strike threat

HOLIDAYMAKERS face travel disruption peak summer period because of a #strikethreat by easyJet cabin crew in a row over pay. Staff are planning to walk out over pay after talks between the unions and the airline broke down following months of negotiations.

The dispute involves more than 2,000 cabin crew. #easyJet has said it was confident that its summer flight schedule will operate as usual, but the Unite union is expected to announce its intention to hold a strike ballot. 

easyJet says it will go ahead with pay awards ranging from 4.1%to 5.1% over the next two years, "on top of an already market-leading set of pay and conditions in the UK", despite it being rejected by union members, adding that its proposed deal is well above inflation and pay increases for British Airways and Thomas Cook employees.
