British Airways threaten to cut staff perks to stop strikes

Strikes have dominated recent news headlines as staff at certain companies have refused to work - citing low pay, unscrupulous employment structures and poor job security.

Now, British Airways, whose staff have been striking for 11 days, are threatening to increase penalties for cabin crew who continue to strike – The Guardian reports.

With a further eight days of industrial action scheduled, BA have said they will halve punishments for staff who return to work.

Those who continue to strike are set to lose bonuses and staff perks for up to two years.
