Ah, now we see the kind of support they have really received. 71% of union members who voted are in favour of strike action. What they don't mention is that those who voted for strike action represent just 30% of all the Cabin Crew at Virgin Atlantic.

The union balloted 3,100 workers of whom 2,102 voted, with 1,497 voting in favour of strike action.

Good luck because you are going to need it with those kinds of numbers. As expected, the majority will have been led into this because of the apathy of the CC workforce not being bothered to use their votes.

70% of the Virgin Atlantic Cabin Crew workforce have either voted against a strike or not expressed any opinion. It'll be interesting to see the picket lines on those dates. Especially the 18th, a Friday.
