Union figures.....
I keep hearing about differences of pay scales and London Weighting etc but some contributors who are clearly VCC do not appear to know these. Has Unite given EVERY member an EXACT line by line breakdown of the differences between their staff at Virgin and other airlines operating similar routes. If not, why not? If the answer is yes then they surely have not been able to present it in a way that EVERYBODY understands. Come on UNITE put the facts and figures before everybody on VCC staff - member or non-member. Why not also give it to the press? They don't all gasp for Virgin advertising and freelance journalists would welcome hard facts they could quote. There are plenty who would be happy to knock SRB off his pedestal temporarily. BUT Unite your job is to secure satisfactory terms and conditions WITHOUT resorting to strike action so in a sense you have failed every one of your members. Can you reply with a detailed breakdown? I am not an employee of any airline, nor a journalist.
