British Airways strikes stall as bitter rows divide union | Mail Online
From the above article:
One, who admitted voting for a strike, said: 'But I am begging, imploring our hard-working reps to please find a way through this stand-off. I firmly now believe we will not win.' Another said: 'I won't be striking. I'm not happy that things are changing and I don't want to lose money... but I can not afford to lose my job.'
And cabin crew member 'Chief bottle washer' said: 'Most crew I speak to want a negotiated agreement rather than a strike.'
So, what has changed then that there is so much backpedalling now? Which item, amongst the many clearly 'signposted' in the last year, has only
now just become obvious to the noisy militant herd that have followed Little BASSA Bo Peep? Where is the cry of "BASSA 100%" or "Willie is going to get a kicking"? What has happened
now to cause such a shift in opinion?
