So what are the Company offering me and what could my first "strike day" be like if I come to work,
I may get in my pocket if I turn up for work on a strike day with
up to 4 crew down a extra £210 once tax and Ni is taken out...!
So what will my day be like........?
A possible bad nights sleep the night before wondering what tomorrow brings ? Do even the company Know.....?
Will I have tension in my shoulders as I put on my uniform ?
Catching the bus and seeing other virgin crew and looking into there faces..? What will they be thinking and will they be frighten just like me..?
What will crew check in be like..........?
What will the breifing be like..............?
Will the flight be crew down....How many.. Flights are full......?Could the flight be delayed or even cancelled..?
Who will I be working with and what dept are they from...?
Just thinking about it sends shivers up my spine, So for me this already sounds like a day from hell and not what normally I would look forward to. This will be a sad day full of stress and thats just the start of it..... got to face my passengers now.....?
I'm staying at home.........!
Dolly,
As Virgin89 has said, the people who will be joining you on the flight will be people for whatever reason, want to be there. If you decide to work on a strike day, I suspect the camaraderie onboard will be stronger than usual. It won't be a normal work day, but you will have the support of a team who are 'all in it together'.
Do not worry that you'll be staring into the eyeballs of strikers from the crew bus; Virgin will ensure you anonymity is preserved. And if the flight is crew down, then you'll benefit from additional payments to compensate you for the extra effort you'll be putting in.
Stay at home only if you want to strike; not as a reason to avoid it. Remember, by staying away from work, Virgin will assume you are a striker.
