Mr Q, that was a very poor attempt to justify this strike.
You use any words you like but you will NOT sustain one iota of support for this union backed and totally unnecessary action. The union as Steve Turner has said -
"We don't care whether it's legal or not. It is unacceptable. The only way we have to address unacceptable behaviour from an employer is to strike."
and someone replied - "moron" which just about sums up their thinking. Like most unions living in the
past 'glory' of their predecessor's will soon realise that they have dug a massive hole that everyone will fall into. The sensible ones who didn't vote will benefit in the long run. It was, and is, a suicidal decision and as the days pass you will all realise it - as well as realising that the union is fighting its own fight not yours - you are their cannon fodder. Sad isn't it?
The cc's are paid a very healthy wage and the idea that they should have more it absolutely ridiculous, and it entices the fury of the majority. You will NOT get more money than you worth since BA could not afford it, and now they will no longer be able to afford it. Their financial losses will grow and the job losses will be more than they planned. This stupid strike has created that - see the suicide!
Though you obviously don't like it, or them, managers manage and they have to make the numbers work. If they don't you will all be subject to the hammer. To be honest you should have taken note of what the pilots, engineers and management did to keep their jobs safe and right now you are exposing them to the same problems you will inevitably face.
If it means anything I would tell you it is better to work these days. WW is duty bound to act on behalf of the shareholders, the workers are well recompensed so the management will do what they have to do. You will not get another job easily that's for sure.
Break the strike by going to work on the 22nd the union will be flaming but always remember that they led you down this rocky road and don't give a stuff about you.
Why not return the 'favour.'
