I heard rumours that ground staff at NCL were recieving ballots as well, and on the Newcastle forum someone else seems to have heard of a coming strike.
If these whispers are true, whats the likelyhood of it being linked to this? I know BAA dont run Newcastle, but are the majority of airport workers with Unite? A solidarity strike perhaps? Perhaps other non-BAA airports are involved but have yet to make the news?
I'd love to know exactly what goes on behind the scenes at these neogtiations... but seems Unite are on some form of mission.
RTG!
