British Airways Strike Blocked by Court

A strike that was to have begun Tuesday at British Airways was blocked today by a British court, which ruled against the flight attendants union planning the action.

The court objected to technicalities in the strike vote, which set a series of four five-day strikes starting this week.

It is expected that the union will eventually take a new strike vote to overcome the court's objections, but there is no indication yet of when.
