BRITISH Airways' Shuttle flights from Glasgow may still face the

threat of industrial action today despite a last-minute peace move.

The cabin crews' union, the Transport and General Workers' Union,

originally agreed to suspend the action to meet BA management yesterday

for further talks on the dispute over pay and conditions.

The union's hand was forced by cabin crews in London and Belfast

voting not to take part in the stoppage, which was supported by crews at

Glasgow, Birmingham, and Manchester. Without the support of London, any

effect of a stoppage was expected to be minimal.

However unions and management failed to come to an agreement last

night. The dispute was caused by crews being unhappy about terms and

conditions being imposed on them.

A spokeswoman for BA said it was not clear last night what strike

action would go ahead. The first indication would come at around 5am

when cabin staff were due to report for duty on the first flight of the

day from Manchester, the 6.30am shuttle to London.
