UK: Unionized British Airways cargo staff to strike Jan. 22-31

Event

Unionized British Airways cargo workers plan to engage in a discontinuous strike for the period of Jan. 22-31 over a pay dispute. The labor action will likely prompt cargo disruptions until at least Jan. 31, and disruptions may linger as the backlog is cleared.

Organizers have indicated that they will not engage in picketing and associated protests due to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic.

Advice

Plan accordingly for possible freight service disruptions. Consider alternative shipping options for critical or time sensitive goods.
