Hi Guys,
Being an Ex Flyer myself as Cabin Crew, I have to say I wouldn't hold my breath with regards to 'Unite the Union', in the 16 years that I paid subscriptions to them I felt that it was a total waste of money.
Yes the Reps will huff and puff and make the right sounds to make everyone think that they are fighting for you but true to form nothing will come of it...........
As for getting a Pay Rise it is historically always C/C that are overlooked or get the raw deal, unlike our colleagues in the pointy bit at the front. Have to agree with a few comments that in current climate not really a good time to be threatening strike action as Customers will look elsewhere!
Good Luck though hope you get a positive result!
