<p>The union representing British Airways cabin crew has given the airline formal seven days notice of its intention to hold a fresh strike ballot in its long-running dispute with the company.</p>
<p>Unite said its members will start voting on December 21 on whether to launch a new campaign of industrial action, with the ballot closing on January 21.</p>
<p>The two sides have been embroiled in a bitter row for more than a year, initially over cost-cutting measures, but more recently over the removal of travel concessions from cabin crew who took part in strikes earlier this year.</p>
<p>The union also wants binding arbitration of all cases of disciplinary action taken against union members involved in industrial action.</p>
<p>Unite joint general secretary Tony Woodley said: &#8220;British Airways knows what it must do to end this dispute. Four of the five outstanding issues are no-cost issues for BA and are about treating cabin crew with dignity, respect and ending the climate of persecution.</p>
<p>&#8220;The fifth item is about stopping BA from imposing a near-minimum waged workforce and killing BA&#8217;s brand.</p>
<p>&#8220;Unite is still open to talks but BA must appreciate the strength of feeling across the airline about how badly they&#8217;ve handled this dispute. BA must get serious and work with us to settle the issues before us.&#8221;</p>
<p>Unite said it was also in dispute with BA because of the introduction of staff on different terms and conditions without the agreement of the union.</p>
<p>Cabin crew took 22 days of strike action earlier this year, costing the airline over £150 million.</p>
