Do any of the posters on this thread believe that individual members may have taken a view that they do not believe their employer, regardless of what the union brass say?
When 78% of the population polled vote for strike action, I would reflect that this suggests a major problem with industrial relations within that group of employees.
When that group of employees is about 15% of the total company workforce, that amplifies the problem, at least in my eyes.
However, this will not be a popular view on this thread, which seems to be oriented to villify one individual, who is the secretary of
one of the branches of Unite, who does not even get to meet the BA team in negotiations.
