London Heathrow, United Kingdom - August 28, 2015: A British Airways Boeing 787 with the registration G-ZBJE taking off from London Heathrow Airport (LHR) in the United Kingdom. British Airways is the flag carrier airline of the United Kingdom based at London Heathrow airport.
Members of Unite, a union of cabin crew members, have suspended their plans for a four-day strike beginning June 16 in order to facilitate fresh negotiations with British Airways. The strike was planned after an initial offer from the carrier was rejected by the union, but suspension of the walkout could potentially lead to an offer from the carrier that the union will accept.
Unite is allegedly advocating for 1,400 members of the union who claim to have had their travel benefits stripped by the carrier due to participation in previous strikes.
