Just saw a mention of this in this article:

For BA, the signs are less encouraging. It continues to suffer chronic industrial-relations problems. Earlier this year, Walsh was forced to cancel over 1,000 flights after cabin crews voted to strike. The threatened stoppage came after unofficial action by some Transport and General Workers’ Union (TGWU) shop stewards to support sacked Gate Gourmet catering workers, and a wildcat strike by check-in staff in protest at attempts introduce a new swipe-in, swipe-out clocking-on system.
Anyone know anything else about this? It didn't get reported or mentioned on libcom... I have vague memories of something like this from maybe a couple of years ago. Anyone have any more info? Then we can put it up on the site and backdate it.
Cheers!

I remember hearing about this, I thought it was at a similar time to Gate Gourmet.
iirc i heard about something like that around/pre gate gourmet time, it doesn't say it was this year
