I think it's a bit of a stretch to take people like Holley, Everard et al and refer to them as "workforce". This is what the dispute has always been about.
If you consider them hard workers, start considering for whom you think they are working hard.
I have to add: When he was posing as "Richard" and spouting all the crap about how hard BA were being on the crew - the word "macho" springs to mind - my immediate thought was "what an obnoxious, lying
". In retrospect, I haven't changed my opinion. And I don't think much of Victoria Derbyshire for not doing any homework and letting him preach such nonsense either.
But I suppose it is, after all, the BBC, who are mostly a waste of money these days anyway.
