I do not know if this is correct but I read in the press somewhere, true or not, that the option for CC on the ballot ticket was..
Strike.
Not strike.
If that is the case and given the fact that one assumes most of the cabin crew are reasonably nice and sensible people, may one assume that the union stitched them up by deciding when to hold the strike after the ballot?
Those in the know will be able to correct on this?
Thats about the sum of it.
I have just had to listen to a friend who voted yes complaining as her New Year holiday flights on BA are now stuffed. It would
seem that she didnt realise that voting for a strike would result in, a strike..! I think she expected a day or two before or after Christmas, no more.
Live and learn eh. --Although probably not.
