But do you not think that you should have all staff on your side including the staff who work in your head offices? I mean if you plan on striking outside their offices do you not want to know that they are behind you?
Bob, the short answer is that the staff in HQ are not members of the impact/atc branch union ( there maybe one or two exceptions) . their branches/unions have no official grievance with the IAA, that i'm aware of.
they cannot walk off the job to support us- even if they wanted to.
their respective unions would have to officially support the atcos.
also, please note that no-one that is not a member of atc branch/impact will be crossing a picket per se, its not their strike!
