One little worry!

Overheard some loaders talking about the famil flights this week. It would appear that unite are putting pressure on members - secondary strike action do I hear!

I also know of a tug driver who volunteered, but left on day 3 after being 'spoken to'. Even after returning the guys in his section are not speaking to him.

There have been several incidents of sabotage recently on aircraft, with essential items being rendered ineffective or being removed. Grounds for instant dismissal - after a good kicking as well hopefully!!

IF bassa & unite push the nuclear button this is going to get very nasty, very quickly. Not just the cowardly threats from anonymous posters, but physical threats.

Thankfully I know that the company are also aware of this and will have 'measures in place'! I genuinely hope that these measures include (not exclusively of course) the use of the heavies to gently dish out summary punishment.

Well, maybe if not now .... later!!!
