BA Christmas strike 'over the top' Unite union boss admits - Telegraph
"The planned 12-day Christmas strike by British Airways cabin staff is "probably over the top", according to Derek Simpson, boss of the Unite union.
The joint general secretary of Unite said the length of the industrial action - which threatens to ruin Christmas travel plans for a million passengers - was "unusual", as Gordon Brown, the Prime Minister, urged both sides to hold talks.
Mr Simpson told GMTV: "It was the decision of the negotiating team in BA. That's their judgement if what's needed to bring sense to this. It's probably over the top." "
Just adds to the credibility of the lunatics. Call me thick if you like, is he saying that the length of the strike is down to the "negotiating team in BA" ??
