British Airways employees have overwhelmingly voted to approve a deal to furlough the airline's workers and preserve employment, a union has announced.
Unite said its members backed the deal by 99%, following negotiations between the two sides in the wake of most flights being cancelled because of the coronavirus crisis.
Under the agreement, a modified version of the Government's job retention scheme will be introduced, with workers furloughed on 80% of pay, but with no cap on earnings.
Unite said workers will be able to divert their pension contributions into their pay for a short period of time, there will be no unpaid temporary lay-offs and no redundancies.
