Anger as Unite chief takes a break

: Latest News; Tuesday, 08 June 2010

One of the Unite union chiefs in charge of the British Airways cabin crew dispute has flown out of the UK on a week's holiday.

While 10,000 BA customers had their travel plans disrupted by the latest round of strikes, Tony Woodley and his wife Janet flew to Cyprus - on EasyJet.

BA negotiators were said to be 'stunned' when they learned Woodley would not be available for talks this week because he was 'going on holiday to Cyprus'.

Last month, Woodley missed early negotiations with BA because he was in Cuba celebrating the 51st anniversary of that country's revolution.
