Fruitbat, it would depend what was on offer.
If nothing is presented then more strikes will be organised, this will take us from quiet January to Feb and Mid term, then the company will start to feel the heat more.
So regarding the sickness thing, how can crew who are non union members support their striking colleagues (becasue secondary action is not allowed) I think (stress think) even if they join union now they are not permitted to strike but I ay be wrong will check when I am home. So does that leave sickness as only option to them ?
