British Airways faces pay-hike campaign from 3 unions
British Airways faces a coordinated campaign for bigger salary increases from pilots, cabin crew and ground staff in a challenge to its efforts to beat down costs. The British Airline Pilots Association, Unite and GMB unions are seeking BA’s first-ever joint pay deal, they said Friday. The 3-year plan would feature settlements above inflation, bonuses that better track profit, and a share-incentive program, people familiar with the matter said. British Airways said it was working with unions “to find a positive approach” to pay talks. The unions say salaries haven’t reflected profit gains that came with the drop in oil prices in 2014, lifting profits to GBP1.8b (US$2.3b) in 2017 from an operating loss of GBP230min 2009. <br/>
