Employees will receive a £1,000 bonus ($1,820), plus a pay raise equal to inflation over the next three years, a British Airways spokesman, Paul Parry, said in an interview. The agreement came during talks with the GMB and Transport and General Workers unions at the airline's headquarters near Heathrow Airport in London. "This agreement should now bring the period of stability for B.A. that the company was looking for," said Andrew Dodshon, a spokesman for the transport union. The unions had planned to strike for 24 hours this coming Friday unless an agreement was reached. The previous pay contract expired in January. The airline's chief executive, Rod Eddington, plans to cut labor costs by £300 million over the next two years amid competition from discount carriers and rising fuel prices. http://www.nytimes.com/2004/08/21/business/worldbusiness/21brit.html?ex=1094103271&ei=1&en=e84d35bcf3204c3e --------------------------------- Get Home Delivery of The New York Times Newspaper.
