In today's Daily Mirror, an open letter from WW to Tony Woodley - and vice versa:
Woody versus Willie: Unite chief Tony Woodley and British Airways boss Willie Walsh in their own words - mirror.co.uk
A little snippet:
Ten days ago, before the first strike, we put a fair and sensible offer to Unite. The union rejected it - without consulting crew.
So I say to you: give your members a voice. Let cabin crew vote on the offer put forward.
It includes a four-year deal on pay - with a freeze in year one and then rises of up to 3% or 4%. Existing crew would stay the bestrewarded in the UK industry. Even though the courts say we do not have to, we have addressed Unite's main demand for more crew on flights.
We would recruit 184 extra staff.
The offer also paves the way for new long-haul opportunities for Gatwick crew, who would like a bigger network and are paid significantly less than their Heathrow colleagues. And it sets out a plan to modernise our industrial relations so we can avoid this kind of damaging dispute in the future.
