'Progress' in BA talks

'Progress' in BA talks

Talks aimed at averting next week's strike by British Airways cabin crew have continued with signs that some progress had been made.

The airline's chief executive, Willie Walsh, led the company's negotiators in secret meetings with officials from the Transport and General Workers Union including its general secretary Tony Woodley.

The talks lasted several hours and are set to continue throughout the weekend in the search for a last-ditch deal which would halt the planned walkout by thousands of stewards and stewardesses on Tuesday and Wednesday.
