Thomas Cook cabin crew vote to strike
Thomas Cook cabin crew voted in favour of a strike in a row over health and safety, the Unite union has said. About half of union members voted, with 74% of those backing industrial action in the dispute over rest breaks. Thomas Cook Airlines said plans were in place to make sure customers would still be able to go on holiday in the event of strikes. A Unite spokesman said union bosses would hold talks with the airline and conciliation service Acas Thursday and next Tuesday. For a strike to go ahead, the union would need to give Thomas Cook 7 days' notice, and that notice has not been served. Thomas Cook has reduced its cabin crew's breaks from one 20-minute break every 6 hours to one 20-minute break every 12 hours worked - the minimum indicated in the Civil Aviation Authority's guidelines. <br/>
