headsethair you're back making false assumptions again:
Then their major airport grinds to a halt and they do nothing about it.
Why ? Because of the cosy relationship with BA. BA run the ground handling at T1.
Other airlines and other jobs have been put at risk because of this shameful act.
Wrong, wrong and wrong again. First, LHR didn't grind to a halt, BAs T1 operation did. Second, BA don't run the ground handling at T1, we do our own handling, everyone else uses their own staff or agents. Third, no other airlines or jobs have been put at risk because the others are unaffected by a BA strike. In fact I'd say the big boost in business to the competition probably secures their jobs.
G fiend:
we are in the 21st century- people have the right to withdraw their labour when in dispute
Indeed they do, but only through legal strikes in this country, not through wildcat, unballoted actions like they could in the 20th century. As a previous poster said, they've handed the management their heads on a plate. If your company recognised unions deal with your management issues in an adult way then they're doing considerably better than the ultra-militant ground unions at BA who still believe they're living in the 70's.
