Thursday, 6 May 2010
Thursday, 6 May 2010 is the date set for local authority elections in England & Wales.
It may, in all probability, be the date of a General Election throughout the United Kingdom.
What effect will the ongoing, running sore that will the BASSA vs BA dispute have on Labour's chances at the polls? How many Labour-held seats will be lost to other political parties?
How many extra votes will the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats gain as a result of the voting public's (alleged) dissatisfaction at the BA cabin crew strike, and the inconvenience this is causing, not only in this country but around the world?
Discuss.
The sooner Len McLoosekey, Lizanne Homalone and all the other strike leaders realise the elemental damage they are causing to the lives of all BA employees the better we - every single member of the cabin crew - will be.
These are my views - and the unspoken opinions of thousands of other BA staff.
