Thumbs up Cabin Crew Unions

Alot of talk in the UK at the moment about Cabin Crew unions. What's the general view?

We are generally the majority of employees, yet treated very differently to, say, our flight deck colleagues!

Work for a cargo airline and feed pigs, cows and sheep..........no change there then from SLF!!!

Unhappy

Well I,m in BASSA and I believe for us it,s united we stand devided we fall,we have just over 10,000 members all BA,and are linked to the TGWU.CC89 have about 6000 but they are diluted into small groups belonging to the other outfits ie virgin etc, however there is strong opposition to union membership by some of these airlines so CC89 have done well to get some form of recognition.
However memership is an individual choice, but should you get on the wrong end of your company for any reason, its always good to have somebody who can give you advice when you,re backed into a corner.

BASSA are a fine example of the strength of a (militant) union. Feel free to blackmail the company in times of difficulty and demand outrageous salaries for your most senior members.

Question

Well of course VAA are run by the Cabin Crew section...They command everything...Thats why the pilots need to join BALPA to make sure they have got representation the next time they get stitched up by some 19 year old
that they say hello to in a bar downroute.......Whatever happened to the fun days????????

If only that were true Silentthunder!
That's why we need the union at VAA!
As shown in the vote with crew cutting off the ballot paper numbers, they're scared!
