British Airways - CC Industrial Relations Mk VI

[Glamgirl]

Well, according to popular belief (aka GalleyFM) the following are backing the CC strike through secondary action:

Air France CC
Portugese pilots
American union members
Italians (not specified)
Fuel tank drivers in the UK

And apparantly several more in the pipelines.

What the GalleyFM (GFM) people are forgetting though, is that in the US, secondary action is not allowed. AF is striking for their own reasons, and so are the Portugese pilots. Secondary action isn't allowed in the UK either, so I doubt the fuel tank drivers will turn up at BFC on Saturday (unless they're on a day off).

Do the GFM people really believe their own hype? I guess the answer to that question is "yes"

And I was under the impression that a union isn't allowed to solicit secondary action? Am I wrong?

Ps. It wasn't me on the radio, just for the record
