Unite Comment on Trial Today of BA Cabin Crew Strikebreaker

LONDON, March 11, 2010 - Commenting on the court appearance of a BA employee alleged to be
involved in a terror plot, and who had volunteered to work as cabin crew in
the event of any strike, Len McCluskey, assistant general secretary said:

"Today's charges illustrate absolutely the serious dangers of recruiting
a strike-breaking crew to defeat a workforce. BA's responsibility to all
passengers is to put every effort into securing a negotiated settlement, not
risk safety with fast-tracked strikebreakers.

"This only serves to underline the concerns we've raised with BA
regarding health, safety and security issues throughout this dispute."
