So what are you really striking for?
GATBUSDRIVER makes a very valid point. As a passenger of Virgin I find it very disappointing that so many contibutors on this board put forward so many differing views. Why has your union not sat down with you and agreed EXACTLY what are the key objectives of any negotiation? If your cause is just - and it may well be despite the outpourings of SRB - you must define those exactly and the union should negotiate with the management and then report back to you. As an outsider it seems to me that the union has let you down badly. Perhaps it is time for an arm of BALPA to be formed. BALCCA - British Airline Cabin Crew Association. I fancy the strike will go off "half-cock" and there will just be a messy few days with no real result other than a great number of angry passengers, disappointed CC and a company slightly worse off financially. I am not travelling on the strike days, nor am I an employee of any airline, nor a journalist.
