Sunday January 21, 2:39 PM EST
LONDON (AP) — Thousands of British Airways cabin crew plan to stage a three-day strike following the breakdown of talks aimed at resolving a row over sickness absence, pay and staffing, their union said Sunday.
Flight attendants will walk out Jan. 29-31, the Transport and General Worker's Union said. The union notified BA of its intention to call out cabin crew on strike again Feb. 6-8 and Feb. 12-14 if the dispute is not resolved.
British Airways criticized the union, saying the strikes would cause massive disruption for passengers and further damage to the airline, which has been hit in recent months by security and weather problems.
Customers who had booked flights between Jan. 29 and Feb. 16 would be allowed to change the date of their flights, BA said.
