LONDON, Jan 21 (Reuters) - British Airways cabin crew have voted to take further strike action in a lengthy labour battle that has already cost the airline 150 million pounds ($240 million), their union said on Friday.

The dispute, which began last year over proposed cuts to pay and staffing levels, now centres on five issues including the removal of travel concessions from crew members who took part in earlier strikes.

No date was announced for any further strikes.

"For the fourth time in 13 months, British Airways cabin crew have voted overwhelmingly in support of their union and expressed their dissatisfaction with management behaviour," Unite General Secretary-designate Len McCluskey said.

"This dispute will be resolved by negotiation, not litigation or confrontation, and it is to negotiation that BA management should now apply itself. We are ready," he added.

The announcement was made on the day BA was due to complete a merger with Spanish airline Iberia .
