BA cabin crew accuse T&G union boss of 'selling out' over strike

By Michael Harrison, Business Editor
Published: 05 February 2007




The head of the Transport and General Workers' Union, Tony Woodley, is to face the wrath of British Airways cabin crew furious at the way they believe the union leadership "sold out" in last week's deal to avert a strike.


Mr Woodley, the union's general secretary, had been due to appear today before a mass meeting of cabin crew at a hotel near Heathrow to defend the settlement, but it has been delayed for a week in an attempt to allow tempers to cool.

If this is correct, then the whole issue could 'mushroom' somewhere else. That is not to say in a strike but in a further decline of attitude and dedication. After all that has been said in this thread and the media, I am surprised that they do not appear to have understood the old phrase, "You are standing into danger".
