British Airways pensions

GMB SHOP stewards have unanimously voted to reject the company's pension proposals. A consultative ballot of GMB members is starting on 17 January, with a recommendation from the stewards to vote for industrial action. The stewards were particularly angry that the company's proposals mean that lower-paid workers will bear the brunt of the cuts.
