......Ok so here is the information I have on this "strike".....At JIA there were no employees who went on strike in fact throughout the whole country only 9 employees actually went on strike. The back-up crew and staff were not needed because on the days that they were rostered all the staff reported so some were asked to go home. All the flights were full, contrary to what the F
K from solidarity claims, there were no disruptions and basically business was as usual.
I have been told that on Friday evening the solidarity spokesman was parked across the road from the Nationwide Ops centre....sitting there like a miserable little old man....chain smoking and waiting to see if his call for strike action actually happened.....
From the report on the news on E-TV last night, he looks like your typical person who could not c ut it in the real world so became involved with the union.....
.....oh yes he does not even know how many members he has at NW.....He claims 350 but in actual fact there are only 220 members......
Oh yes WildFrequency.....you say 'shame' on the 'other cabin crews' who offered to fly and help out NW.........so then it must be shame on NW who carried the stranded SAA pax during the SAA strike and also shame on NW for being the only airline from SA to send a plane to fetch the South African tsunami survivors ?????........Shame on you
