This industrial action is a tragedy; I would urge those involved to look at other organisations that have had strikes which have changed for the worse. Look at Alitalia. Yes they have had strikes which have crippled the company and what has been the result? Has the strike action worked? Have the unions got what they wanted? The answer is they haven't which is one of the reasons why they are beng absorbed by KLM-AF. Is that what you really want to see happen to your airline?
