The way back
There probably is one now for striking CC.
However, I hear that Bassa/Unite are thinking about a longer strike.
That will entrench attitudes on both sides. Each side will think they have more personal capital and money invested in the IA.
The longer this goes on, the more difficult it will be to find a way back.
In the '80s there was a miners' strike. Many of the current CC may not remember it because they are too young.
Let me say now, it was terrible for the miners and their families for whom there was real hardship and deprivation. People were forced back to work because of lack of money, and on managements' terms.
I realise that just by making a comparison between that dispute and this may harden some peoples resolve to carry on the IA "to the end". However for all of your sakes don't go down that road.
Remember, this dispute is about reducing the number of cabin crew on L/H flights by one. That is why you are striking.
Now is the time to find a way to negotiate
