I was surprised to hear a couple of LGW cabin crew saying yesterday they felt they ought to vote for a strike. I didn't want to rock the boat by asking them directly but can someone please explain why they feel they are entitled to vote for a strike?

Does anyone know what the LGW cabin crew hope to achieve by a strike vote? Are they showing support for LHR cabin crew who sold them down the river by allowing BASSA to agree the LGW crewing levels? Or is it the withdrawal of a purser or because LGW crew can no longer transfer to LHR, or just because they feel they are the poor cousins of LHR crew and need to show some protest in case their conditions deteriorate further in the future?

Glamgirl you have always been so practical and spot on with your comments and observations. Maybe you can explain why some of your LGW colleagues want to vote for a strike that has been instigated by BASSA due to imposition at LHR.
