Removasl of staff travel..

I can see where Safety Concerns is coming from and might be tempted to agree where it not for the fact that BA has removed staff travel from groups of workers in the past, albeit for relatively short periods of time. True, it wasn't as a consequence of strike action. The arguement runs thus. Staff travel is a gift from the company and is something the company can rescind at any time and for any reason it sees fit.Employees who behave in a manner calculated to lose the company revenue shall be deemed to have acted contrary to the good of the company and any gift from the company will be rescinded. The penalty is not for going in strike, it is for harming the revenue stream of the organisation.
