Around 24,000 British Airways employees will get a pay rise of 13.1% over an 18-month period as demand for air travel soars, easing the threat of further disruptions as workers push for higher wages across the industry.
Along with the salary increase, BA’s workers will also receive a one-time payment of £1,000 ($1,270), the Unite union said in a statement on Friday. Pilots and management are excluded from the deal, it said.
