BA strike: Union announces dates in March

The union representing British Airways cabin crew has said its members will go on strike for three days from 20 March and for four days from 27 March.

Unite the union supporting BA members who are striking confirmed they not strike over Easter, but warned there could be further strikes after 14th April if a resolution has not been agreed.

The union said it had a new offer from BA, for its strikers, but added it could not recommend it.
