British Airways cabin crew members have again voted heavily in favour of taking industrial action to protest changes to working conditions and contractual arrangements.

The vote was 81% in favour of a strike, with turnout just short of 80%, according to the Unite union.

In total, 7,482 voted for the action and 1,789 against it.

Unite has yet to reveal when it plans to carry out the strike. It has previously indicated that the action will not take place over the Easter holiday period.

In December, a court decision forced Unite to abandon a plan to strike during the Christmas holiday. That proposed action had drawn heavy criticism from British Airways management and the public.
