Can FR Pilots Strike NOW?
despegue - You are aware that unless you are part of a recognised Union, then it is not legal to strike. Hence why the recognition MUST go thorugh. The worst the pilots can do right now is ALL take a sick day together, and ALL work 'TO RULE'.
Be aware that a 'Non-vote' counts as a 'NO' vote.
The vote WILL come this year and there is nothing that can be done.
The Captain in question is a very well regarded person in and out of the work place. This is a person who is a true proffesional and hasa never put a foot out of line, EVER! This person was also very much 'onside' with management.
If they are prepared to get rid of someone who is a near 'Model Employee', then what is there to stop them getting rid of ANYONE.
The first stone has been thrown, and all those people that are worried about loosing their jobs if they stand up and be counted when it comes to an ANONOMOUS VOTE, then just think, the company will shoot anyone in the back at anytime. You have no rights and protections UNLESS YOU VOTE 'YES'.
Regardless of what the outcome will be with a Union, it can no way be any worse then being saked for telling cabin crew that they need legal protection, because sure as you and I are breathing air, if something happens on that aircraft, it will be anyone's fault but the company, and if you don't have a Union's legal protection, guess who will be footing the bill when Ryanair Sue you!
