British Airways will meet next week with unions over planned cost-cutting, including thousands of job losses.

The airline set a deadline of last Tuesday to agree with unions cuts in jobs, a pay freeze and other changes.

But no deal was reached despite weeks of talks between the two sides.

The conciliation service Acas announced that it is convening a meeting next Wednesday so that negotiations can continue.

Thousands of BA workers will hold a mass meeting on Monday to hear details of the negotiations from union leaders.
