"One union member, all union members!"
and here is the root cause of the problem -
we've got two fckn Unions! So how the hell
any Union Rep expects staff across the board to stand up for each other and deliver a real show of force to the Mgmt just totally beggars belief! PCS and Prospect have a history of NOT working together, nor in each other's interests - and this goes right back (probably) even as far as Chiglet's 1977 'power to the ATCAs!' victory. It has certainly been the case since I joined.
Having a single Union representing the entire workforce will not in itself achieve 'solidarity' - there's still personal circumstances that will come into play when deciding how one will vote. However, it would be a start.
Gonz - the only thing NSL has left to get rid of is the support staff, and they won't hang around with that issue! I've tried selling my SAMOS stuff to autothrottle and friends (they're going to need it!
) - maybe you'd like to make an offer for a genuine, one owner, UNUSED headset??
