The CEO of a public company made a policy announcement about the withdrawal of staff travel.
Can you seriously equate that to a manager taking away a vending machine? I would say that you lack judgement if the answer is yes.
Companies can and do remove concessions at their discretion. It does not matter if it is dear to you or not.
In this instance, the CEO explained the policy and gave everyone the opportunity to retain staff travel.
No-one was punished, some decided to self apply the policy and now they do not have staff travel.
That was their free choice, as it was to strike.
Never ever in the history of this company has a particular group ever been punished in this manner for withdrawing their labour. Pilots were never exposed to such threats. Neither were ground staff. I remember they were being awarded for coming into work by being given further staff travel benefits. Why cabin crew?
And your point is?
Your community was told the way to was going to be and you all made your own decisions, now the policy has been applied.
You may feel that this is unfair, in which case you are at liberty to change your employer.
