al446...how do you see Monarchs trading position to be excellent? Unless you're the FD or on the board how would you know? The company is private so you haven't a clue about the trading position.You sound like another Scargill throwback who spouts without a clue.
This union official has taken the chance to make a name for himself without any mandate. Had he actually gone to the workforce that he claims to represent and been given a mandate via a vote to strike then that is the time to start the rhetoric.
If it's the Monarch crew reps that have allowed him to go to the press then they should be sacked just as any other staff member who intentionally sets out to lose the company 100s of thousands of pounds would be.
