THIS IS EXACTLY THE REASON WHY ALL UNITE MEMBERS( NO MATTER HOW THEY PREVIOUSLY VOTED ) MUST STAND UP AND BE COUNTED NOW THAT STRIKE IS IMMENENT.
WITH A STRONG PRESCENCE AT PICKET LINES VS MUST BE READY TO COME BACK AND NEGOTIATE
I FOR ONE WOULD LIKE OUR EMPLOYER TO START NEGOTATIONS A.S.A.P
TO PREVENT ANY DISPUTE
It depends on your view. Obviously thoughts are polarised on both camps at the moment. Strikers need the full support of all who voted yes (and perhaps a little more, if they are truly to upset the VS scheduling which is working to avoid disruption). The management need as many people as possible to report for duty - including those 1000 who voted neither way.
Taking the macro view, there is more pressure on employees as the impact on their wages is more significant than a few cancelled flights to the company. For the strike to be effective, not only do all union members need to stand together, but it will need more than just the 4 days of action currently planned. What I doubt, given the fragmented nature of the vote and the unclear picture of what deal people are fighting for, is whether the majority of crew have the stomach for a protracted dispute.
