Thanks russell_f
As an outsider it is very difficult to find the truth and work out who is right. I have no reason to doubt one2ones story; that's a very tough situation to be in and he has my sympathy, but how do you balance that against the management claim that the average security supervisor is on £21K. That seems a reasonable amount in comparison with other industries (some might claim it is very significantly better). I also suspect that in comparison to other industries that the management salary increases are not excessive, although as I said above the timing may not be great. There are clearly many individuals who are placed in great difficulty by these changes, but does this justify a strike and the disruption of a successful airport. I wonder how unemployed pilots with zero income feel. I support action when it is clearly justified, I'm just not sure I can see that the case is crystal clear here.
