Just browsing an article on the strike and I was struck by the big differences there appear to be in the types of crew on strike.
BA Unite strikes: Willie Walsh vows to win war of attrition | Mail Online
1. Piccy of the Bath Rd demonstrators. Not sure how many are actually BA CC or just rent a mob. Still the whole episode showed a very militant and aggressive side and switched off a lot of public support.
2. Piccy of the smiling girl with the 'Time for the snip Willie' plackard. Happy, making her point in a humerous and non offensive way. If Bassa were more like her they may have stood a chance.
3. Piccy of the mum and her kid. Im afraid designer jeans, timberland boots, sunglasses perched on the head and the ever so precious tiara will not be going down well with Unite union members, in hard factory jobs, who are now being asked to dig deep and cover her wages.
A strange strike indeed.
