British Airways Begins Strike
British Airways has told its passengers not to turn up at airports as the biggest strike action in the airline’s 100-year history begins today, September 9, 2019.
The company was accused by union bosses of bullying its own staff. As a result, over 1,500 flights have been cancelled as union bosses have warned that they could continue the action until the end of the year. About 280,000 people will be affected by the strike which is set to continue on Tuesday, costing the airline £80m in lost revenue.
