Anyway, this is all getting a bit academic, so I suggest we...

Are you sure? If 3 full-timers call a 3 day strike, the company loses 9 man days. If it's 3 33% workers who are each rostered for one day the company only loses 3 man days.

Therefore the original...

Unite advert - P.S.

As I have touched on the cock-up theory and the conspiracy theory, perhaps I should mention at least one alternative. Could it be that they have completely given up on mounting a credible strike, and...

Unite advert - own goal?

The advert itself and the link to the 'Brutish Airways' site with it's background information seems to do a pretty good job of linking the next ballot to the original dispute.

If so, I am sure...

Press coverage

Pesky hats indeed. Unfortunately, whilst I am sure the original intention was to make a much more serious point than simple hat envy, in the cruel glare of press publicity perception is all.
