It is quite clear that Virgin Atlantic will be able work through any industrial action the Cabin Crew take, due to the small percentage of crew actually willing to take part in the process so far.
Yes there might be disruption.
Yes there might be financial strain put on the company and employees alike.
But this round of action is doomed to fail and therefore cannot achieve what the cabin crew ultimately deserve.
Virgin Cabin Crew are currently so divided, so disorganized and some so utterly unaware of the facts surrounding this dispute, their aims are now unachievable.
By voting yes to a strike, they will simply destroy all chance of achieving better terms and conditions for a very long time. There is simply not enough crew making the effort to make this a successful fight.
Your right to union recognition took a long time to get. Therefore you should protect it and use it wisely. DO NOT WASTE THIS PRIVALIGE with a strike that does not have enough crew behind it to make it work.
