A union should be the first point of call not the last. A union represents, protects and enforces your rights. A strike is only ever a LAST resort when management and crew fail to reach an agreement. The pay conditions at Virgin Atlantic have been questionable. So that is not a good comparison to Silverjet's conditions. Most hotels offer crew discounts regardless. So that is nothing new. Grooming allowance. Crew should not have to chase the tax man to recieve this. Get a union.
Thank-you for your insight.
