highest single percentage wage increase across all UK airline companies in 2007"
But it comes with sacrifice. Givee left, takee right.

You have put some considerable time into that post KO, nice piece once again. I think the union can be excused for the delay in notification to the company, based on 2 counts,

1. legally the company has to ensure it has ALL members correct details before the ballot is issued otherwise the company can claim the ballot is not legal. (see legal rules of an industrial ballot)

2. It could be possible the delay was strategically, as a yes vote for industrial action has to be taken within 4 weeks, so optimum timing may have been a factor.

I too hope everyone exercises their vote this time and with a level head, there has been some good dialogue here of late, sometimes it's good to take a step back and re-asses to ensure you are on the correct course even if that means taking a few steps back.

I wish everyone well.
