Unite can't be that bad a Union, the EasyJet CC just got a 5.5% pay increase!
Airlines like Monarch, Jet2 etc are doing surprisingly well in this "current climate".
It never surprises me that CC are so quick to demean themselves out of a payraise or any increase in their T&C's. No wonder the entire CC community is viewed as a walk over by management.
I don't necessarily agree with Strike action but if every other department is getting a rise then why not the coal face, the very part of Monarch that makes or breaks it with the fare paying punters??
The Union are doing the right thing by balloting its members. If its members want to go on Strike then the Union would only go on strike if their members want it. So i don't think shouting at the Union is fair its the membership that will end up either going on strike or not.
