Virgin Atlantic crew strike called off
8 January 2008A strike by Virgin Atlantic cabin crew, which would have seen 48-hour walkouts this week and next, has been called off.
The deal between the airline and the trade union, Amicus, will see the crew get a 4.8 per cent pay increase this year and a guarantee of a rise in line with inflation next year.
But the agreement came too late for the airline to reinstate the flights it had cancelled – with Virgin having already made alternative arrangements for those passengers affected.
