Leo hasn't worked for 'squalid' unionised Monarch, evidently!
Alibaba, I agree with your assessment of the situation. My post merely points out the difficulty of getting such a diaspora to come to a collective decision in favour of anything, much less striking.
I agree that the situation at RYR is dire, the bottom of the heap by a long way regarding T&Cs and all of us should do all we can to avoid letting other, well run and well regarded airlines form joining in the downwards spiral.
I am sure you know that in all the years that unionised Monarch has existed, they have never, as far as I know, had a vote in favour of a strike and yet they enjoy some of the best T&Cs in the airline community in UK. They have had votes, but not to strike!
I was merely trying to point out that striking is not always the answer!
There are other alternatives.
