British Airways cabin crew begin second 5-day strike
None
Members of a British Airways cabin crew union began a second five-day strike on Sunday after talks held last week aimed at resolving the long-running dispute ended without agreement. The new wave of industrial action by the airline's cabin staff started officially at midnight (7 pm EDT) with little sign on the horizon of a breakthrough in the increasingly bitter row.
Thousands of passengers face more disruption at the start of a week of school holidays in Britain. Cabin staff are due to begin a third wave of strikes on June 5, days before the start of the World Cup soccer tournament in South Africa. (Reuters)
