Looks like this is where today's drama got started: -

Right to Work conference shows opposition to BA boss Willie Walsh|22May10|Socialist Worker

Extract: -

One of the highlights of the day came when a striking British Airways (BA) cabin crew worker addressed the rally. He received a standing ovation, after explaining how the BA’s cuts affected staff and how their situation was misrepresented in the media. He pointed out that his basic salary was only £12,000....

....many supporters wanted to actively show their support for the strikers. They heard that BA boss Willie Walsh was holding talks nearby.
Some 200 conference participants marched from its venue at Friends Meeting House to Euston Towers, where Walsh was meeting Unite union negotiators at the Acas conciliation service.
