BA Strike Action

Any guess on the likely outcome of this new ballot? I'm supposed to be flying in late August

Unite will poll 6,185 employees including security staff, engineers and firefighters from next Friday if BAA fails to increase a pay offer. The poll will close on 12 August and strike action could start as soon as 19 August. Unite expects to cause significant disruption at BAA's six UK airports - Heathrow, Stansted, Southampton, Glasgow, Aberdeen and Edinburgh - because runways and terminals are prohibited from operating without security and fire cover.

It's Unite, they have a record of voting to strike.

I thought this was for BAA not BA

This is a strike against BAA , nothing to do with BA.

Yeah, a simple typo missing one 'A' out of the title...
