VLD 1977


Just don't follow any union "leader" if they are not working for your benefit, but for theirs, but unions are necessary in this society. Otherwise it would be a slow and gradual shift to half slavery.

Dear VLD1977,

I agree with you but how do you see the fact that the more the unions fight for t&c's for BA crew the more people will have to work t&c's with company's not having unions to represent them.

So the more Unite fight for BA crew the more Easyjet and Ryanair will gain pax and have cabin crew work at far worse conditions.

I would say if the unions really have cabin crew stakes at heart they would try to get a foothold at those companys that forbid their crew to be represented by a union.

But then again maybe you can share your opinion about that with me?
