British Transport Secretary Deplores British Airways Cabin Crew Strike (BAIRY)
3/14/2010-British Transport Secretary Lord Adonis has attacked the planned strike by British Airways (OTC:BAIRY) cabin crew staff, calling it "totally unjustified," BBC News reported Sunday.
He told the BBC's Andrew Marr Show that the strike posed a threat "to the future of one of our great companies in this country."
The dispute is over reduced staffing levels and pay at the airline.
The Unite union remarked that Lord Adonis "appears badly informed."
The strike starting on 20 March is due to last for three days, with a second four-day walkout due to begin on 27 March.
