This thread has carried much criticism of 'the union'
However, it is not the union that has voted, but CC themselves.
I am bound to assume that CC have minds of their own, and had a 'free vote' as to whether they wished to strike or not.
They have, by a significant majority, voted to strike.
Does this not mean that union-bashing is misplaced? If CC THEMSELVES have voted to strike, they must know their own minds, and genuinely want to inconcvenience the company and its customers.

I am not a union man, nor do I think that there is the slightest risk of BA coming within a million nautical miles of having to shut down.

What any strike(s) will actually achieve is unknowm.
But I DO support that majority of trained, intelligent personnel who have elected to strike - if only because they believe that their employer is being unreasonable.
