British Airways¹ and the Unite union are to hold fresh talks on Tuesday as cabin crew workers stage their third day of strike action.

英国航空公司与联合工会将于本周二就航班空服人员为期三天的罢工行动举行新一轮会谈。

The union has warned of the possibility of more strikes in July

Unite joint² secretary Tony Woodley is due to attend the meeting, despite warning on Monday that the union could ballot³（投票） members for further walkouts.

Cabin crew staff are continuing with the second of three five-day strikes, with a third due to start on 5 June.

BA has yet to comment on the threat of more industrial action in July.

Travel perks⁴ row

The talks will be held under the auspices（赞助，保护） of conciliation⁵ service Acas, but there is currently little sign of any breakthrough to end the long-running dispute.

The disagreement between Unite's cabin crew workers and BA centres on jobs, pay and working conditions.

Unite is also demanding that BA reinstates（恢复，复原） the travel perks of striking workers, and cancels disciplinary proceedings⁶ against others.

The union has offered to call off the strikes if the travel concessions⁷（优惠，让步） are put back in place, ahead of agreeing a final deal.

BA says it has offered to reinstate travel concessions, but only as part of a final agreement.

'Bullying⁸'

Mr Woodley made the warning of further strike action earlier on Monday at Unite's annual conference in Manchester.

He said its members were standing⁹ up to BA's "bullying（恃强凌弱的行为） ".

"We all know there is a deal to be struck, one that recognises the real commercial needs and problems of the company as well as our members' legitimate¹⁰ interests," he said.

"But we are not and never will be prepared to see our members and our union humiliated¹¹（羞辱） , victimised and reduced to ruins."

He further claimed that BA's bosses were not interested in reaching an agreement.

"They are trying to starve our members back to work," said Mr Woodley.
'Larger schedule'

BA denies the bullying accusations¹², and on Sunday said it had reintroduced all flights from Heathrow to New York's JFK airport and that it would add more.

It insisted its operations went "very well" during last week's action and that it had made another "good start" to the second bout¹³（较量，回合） of walkouts that began on Sunday.

"We have announced a larger schedule at Heathrow for this round of strikes, because of the numbers of crew reporting for work," it added.

BA's services from London's Gatwick and City airports continue to be unaffected.

The Unite union claimed BA cancelled more than 100 flights on Sunday and said its strikes continued to be strongly supported.
