BA strike

There are two sides, but as a recent post said, time and place. Cabin crew at LGW accepted the changes. When the airline is losing one million a day, going on strike is not logical. A trade union is there to protect and serve its members, this is not happening here. There needs to be a rationalistion of terms and conditions. There needs to be a fix for the pension deficit. In this day and age what company can actually afford huge final salary pension schemes. People will lose out. It is not nice when it happens to you and I do have some sympathy for the cabin crew but they have to realise how the world works. I feel they are being buldozed into action that ulimately will cause them all more grief. The airline game is changing so fast, I feel unite should embrace change and let their members and the people who pay their wages down. Do not use the travelling public in your games to see who can be the most militant. You will lose in the end and so will members your proport to represent.
