I really can't see why the BA bashers think this is a mistake. WW is just setting out his stall for the New Year.
The illegal strike caused untold damage to our reputation and balance sheet. For the management not to react would be completely irresponsible. BA seem to have decided that these shop stewards were responsible. They and the union have to decide whether they were acting in an official or personal capacity.
Personal = sack. Go bully someone else.
Official = legal action against the TGWU. Cough up.
Either way BA has laid down a marker to the militants that the door mat days are over. Some of us are keen to earn a living and provide the service our customers expect.
If there is a problem with this decision then I am sure that it will be settled at the Appeal. After that everybody will have a better appreciation of WW's mettle for the changes to come.
