Thanks Mariner9!
I was on strike during the first round and out of the country during the second round.
What was I expecting from a strike? We did make a stand about how we feel about this and that we are serious. I think all of us were expecting serious negotiations and hopefully a settled agreement. There has been some talk since the strike but I think one of the issues is that BA and UNITE are really far away from each other which makes it even more difficult to come to an agreement.
By bringing in strikebreakers has not really increased my trust in BA. People say WW, himself included, he has no intention of destroying our union. This is exactly what he has done. WW and all the strikebreakers have undermined exactly everything what a union is all about. Exactly what a strike is all about. I'm very disappointed in them and I know that many of my striking colleagues feel the same way.
