Sky News - More talks to stop BA strikes

Unite are still pumping out the usual tripe:

"Only 15% voted in favour, with 85% finding no appeal in it at all"
- and of that 85% how many couldn't even be bothered to vote either way on something so important?

"BA also claimed that the majority of crew worked during the dispute but we have processed over 7,000 claims for strike pay - that means 70% of Heathrow crew, the backbone of the BA operation, took strike action." - but does that include each striker making more than one possibly two claims? Doesn't look so impressive then does it?

BASSA claim that 70% of their membership took strike action despite 80% of LH and 60% of SH flights operating. All BASSA have succeeded in doing to date is proving how dispensable the strikers are! And still they support them, it's quite unbelievable.
