Unite has sent letters to Spain's Deputy PM @PabloIglesias warning that the purchase of @AirEuropa by #IAG would have negative consequences for jobs and consumers in Spain. He also recalled that IAG's shareholding in Spanish hands is only around 3%.

We visited @British_Airways call centre in Newcastle earlier today - why is it BA's parent company #IAG can still go ahead and buy @AirEuropa for £1Billion, paid for with Spanish state aid, whilst trampling all over UK workers? It's immoral, disgusting and not how to be behave.
BA's #fireandrehire must have serious consequences. They have been labelled a #NationalDisgrace Already over 170 cross-party MPs have signed the pledge to redistribute BA's landing slots & more will sign. We will do all in our power to push @British_Airways back. Sharon Graham
We're in Eastbourne today to ask @Caroline_Ansell to sign our slots pledge. Constituents, especially those that are @British_Airways staff, are asking her to support them & ensure that BA don't get away with this. Caroline, sign here✍️👉https://t.co/FAaEUHgpnA #Handbacktheslots
The actions of @British_Airways are completely unacceptable. Despite having billions in cash reserves, BA is embarking on a programme slashing terms & conditions of workers. I've written to @CMAgovUK to review lucrative slots they are offered at our airports. #BAStopThinkAgain
#BAbetrayal Campaigners call on their MP @Caroline_Ansell to sign the slots pledge. A number of your constituents work for BA, it is your duty to represent and protect them. @British_Airways must not get away with their bad behaviour. https://t.co/FAaEUHy0f8 #Handbacktheslots
In Windsor today @SkyNews asked @British_Airways workers about what was happening and reprted on BA's #fireandrehire - workers are being treated despicably. "There's a lot of alternatives besides this." BA must stop and consider their actions. #Handbacktheslots#BAbetrayal
We're hearing you @KwasiKwarteng - we've found a way for you & @GOVUK - all you have to do is sign the slots pledge. It's been a while since you sent this newsletter out, now it's time to stand up for your constituents and urge the @GOVUK to intervene. https://t.co/FAaEUHy0f8
#BAbetrayal campaigners turned out at the Qatar Goodwood festival today - their message to Qatar, who have 25% shares in #IAG, @British_Airways parent company was clear. Let BA and #IAG know that this is not the way to behave and is not in your name and to stop #fireandrehire
"I never dreamt we would be treated this way. It’s insensitive corporate greed taking advantage of a terrible situation. They are destroying the company I love and the brand of BA, our flag carrier. This is the ultimate betrayal.” Dave, BA crew member. https://t.co/KiXbOk2ssK
We visited the headquarters of #IAG & the village of their president Antonio Vazquez. When @British_Airways staff are being attacked yet #IAG are purchasing and airline for £1billion, questions have to be asked. Vazquez needs to take control of the situation and meet with Unite.
@BBCWorld@BBCNews@itvnews@SkyNews#BAbetrayal BA stop your plan immediately before the inevitable happens! All your employees are united and we will fight till the end ! A 40% pay cut is unacceptable.
Sharon Graham, Unite executive officer said: "British Airways' workers face an unprecedented attack on their jobs, pay and conditions in the middle of the worst health crisis in a century.

Sharon Graham, Executive Director of Unite, explained that "we are in Spain to demand that IAG be involved in this crisis. Vazquez has the power to intervene and negotiate a reasonable agreement before this dispute gets out of hand."

Morning! Looks like another busy night!! The attacks on the @British_Airways brand exposing their greed will be relentless and no doubt will continue to escalate until they do the right thing by our Unite members 👊✊@UniteTGU@BASSA_2000@MFUnite @BaBetrayal #BAbetrayal
When will @BorisJohnson personally intervene? He has a duty to call out @British_Airways behaviour and take action. The @GOVUK need to look at slots, there must be consequences for BA's actions. #Handbacktheslots#BorisAct
