Hello and welcome to Coffee House Shots, the spectators' daily politics podcast.

I'm Cindy you and I'm joined by Katie Boes and James Forsyth.

So to add to the strike action this week,

today British Airways staff have also voted to go on strike.

Katie, tell us about what's going on here.

So Cindy just adds to the sense that we're heading to a very chaotic summer and

potentially fairly beyond. So rail strikes this week, more strikes to come.

And now if you add to the fact that airlines are already struggling with a number of passengers

who want to travel this summer, you have a British Airways staff strike.

This is related to Heathrow, 700 members of staff have said that they plan to strike

and this will be during the summer holidays.

Now this is because there has been an offer of pay which hasn't been accepted

and therefore it's just becoming a common theme when it comes to these pay rises,

which lots of people are not proper pay rises because of inflation and how that rolls out.

And I think as James said previously in this podcast, I think right now the government

is in probably the more easy part of this, which is eventually if no one can really get what

they want to be and everyone's very unhappy, I think we'll be more precious.

They'll grant shaps why aren't you in these negotiations, try to do stuff at the last minute,

why is it that you're taking this different approach and that will increase?
