Chesty Morgan, why do you think that they haven’t achieved anything in pay negotiations ? I would guess that it’s because the membership is low and Jet2 are aware of that. If you’re happy to have a scheduling agreement that the company can ignore whenever it wants, to be given below RPI pay rises then that’s fine. Without a strong membership BALPA can’t achieve anything. Industrial action is any union’s “nuclear deterrent” no one want’s to use it but everyone knows it’s there in the background. But it only exists if there is a high enough percentage of members to make it effective. It’s all very well to say BALPA don’t achieve anything at Jet2 so I’m not going to join, but any union can only ever be as strong as its membership.
