Excuse me Sir...how can a CEO of such a large Company as BA directly penalise employees who have gone on a perfectly legal strike by suspending permanently their precious staff travel?
Is this strong act lawful? Probably it is not.
On one side Willie Walsh said that he genuinely believes BA Cabin Crew are excellent dedicated workers who have the legal right to go on a legitimate and perfectly legal strike, and on the other side he punishes them by removing the most essential travel perk they have, do not forget that ID travel also allows many Europeans to commute and work for BA in London even if they are still resident abroad.
Is this in truth a CEO who genuinely respects the completely legal right to strike?
It would probably be easier to just admit that strike in his mind is not an option. It is very simple.
