While the 4x4s queued politely to enter the car park at Sandown Park, members of the Socialist Workers Party offered the cabin crew leaflets calling for a "strike over Christmas to defeat Walsh". The leaflet asserted: "A victory at BA would not only be a triumph for the staff involved, it would also boost workers everywhere."
It concluded: "We need a genuine working-class political alternative."
A week from today, BA cabin crew will find themselves in the unfamiliar position of switching from the First and Club class cabins to the frontline of the class struggle.

This is from the British 'Independent' newspaper today.
I would not have thought that too many BA cabin crew would have considered themselves working class but there we are-know your place in socialist Britain!
