Yes, the court was about crew complemients being contractual or not. The strike is about IMPOSITION. Lots of crew say that even if the crew complements might work on some flights, because it was imposed, then that means that we have to strike over it.
My argument though is, after 9 months of negotiations that don't get anywhere - surely the company can impose NON-CONTRACTUAL changes?? When we are in a recession and critical financial position like most airlines. However UNITE could have avoided imposition!
Unfortunately Unite doesn't think on the same wavelength, feed it to the members and that's why although I voted No twice, I still think we are going to get a majority. I just hope the majority is way less - as I am fed up of people saying ''92% can't be wrong''
etc etc!!
