It’s been moving, heartbreaking and deeply shocking listening to the stories of loyal staff who’ve given their all to #BritishAirways and the passengers (like me) cared for over the years. You don‘t deserve this and we will continue to give you your voice. Stay strong and united.
I know today will be extremely difficult for BA staff- especially for those who've served loyally for years.
So many BA staff have told me how tough the last few months has been on their mental health.
We will keep standing up for you in Westminster.

6000 forced take VR, 4000 sacked mainly old contract (discrimination) some survived being downgraded mainly old contract(discrimination)and the rest must sign a mysterious contract AND with the threat of taking staff trave away from you l if you don sign settlement agreement.
This rather sums up my view. There is something seriously wrong with this great country when the powerful stand by whilst those who need us most at a time of crisis are betrayed. Disillusioned and disappointed doesn’t even scratch the surface of my feelings.
BA’s treatment of its workers is a betrayal of everything the company has stood for over the years as the national flag carrier.Using Covid as a cover for its long held aim of cutting jobs,wages & conditions is a disgrace. Just as bad the Government has stood on one side & let it

Wavering? Anxious? Frightened?
Well that’s understandable
I want to assure you:
I STILL HAVE HOPE !
And I’m staying - all the way to the end (whatever shape that takes)
For those who have decided otherwise, I will always miss you - you will forever be in my heart
A @British_Airways Engineer wrote this song (we had to cut it short for twitter) - we think it's pretty amazing so we put some pictures with it. @British_Airways well I know for sure, things are gonna catch up with you. #BorisAct#Hanbacktheslots
As thousands face unemployment the man who actioned it retires on millions in bonuses. Rewarded for a personal vendetta by a board who bought millions of euros of shares on the cheap, all actioned during a global crisis. UK gov turning a blind eye #BAckToBedfont#nationaldisgrace
Liar Liar pants on🔥 🔥
Willie can't resist telling whoppers! He says he is proposing no more than 20% off basic for anyone. As you well know Willie - for some basic only makes up 50% of pay. Where is the other 50%? There must be consequences to BA’s actions. #Handbacktheslots
Willy Walsh do the maths ... you say IAG are struggling ... yet you pay yourself 3 million for 3 months work, whilst continuing to purchase a rival competitor airline for millions that will destroy UK jobs. Where is the CEO of BA Alex Cruise fire& rehire . #BAbetrayal
.@BorisJohnson 69% of the public polled believe the government should review BA's slots. Will you sit idle as 42,000 jobs are at risk or will you speak out and #StandWithBAWorkers?
