Lizard Drinking,
You are making a very similar point to our other contributer 'wonderlust'. So OK point taken. From what I have read over the last few years I am of the opinion that the KAL union stance may be misguided. However there may be issues not yet recognised that may give a valid reason for the union's stance.
One thing is for sure, the airline cannot continue 'spiking them in' at the rate they have achieved in the last few years and still continue in business for much longer.
However do you not think it somewhat over the top to actually jail people for taking industrial action?
I agree with jailing people for murder, robbery, pedophilia etc. I might be old fashioned but I believe that throwing people in the slammer for withdrawing their labour is WRONG.
If KAL wish to move into the 21st century then they may just achieve it by communicating effectively with their workforce. In my opinion it is probably too late for that now and KAL as it is will die; and so it will be a 'lose, lose' situation.
For those in jail and their families, I am sorry it has come to this and I sincerely wish that you have an early end to your terrible ordeal.
Regards
