And you seem to ignore the fact that they have a right to strike if they feel unfairly treated. Pilot's Union can do what it likes, that's it's own affair. Just because they debate the decision doesn't make them right, just because BA hate it (why wouldn't they?) doesn't make them right, hell just because Unite are doing it doesn't make them right. But you're implying that striking is inherently wrong, it's not, it's a workers right against management if they feel unfairly treated.
How exactly are Cabin Crew unskilled? Do you have any idea as to what these people have to be trained to do? They're no longer sky waiters you know. All that health and safety crap before the flight? Actions in the event of a crash, unruly passengers, terrorist incidents are all part of the program now, especially at a company like BA. You say Unite don't give a fuck about the company? Well seems to me Walsh and BA don't give a fuck about their workers. They're a disgrace. Why doesn't Walsh resign for his crap handling of this mess? He's been insinuating that the Union members actually don't want the strike (they do), that BA will go bust because of it (it won't, ash cloud) and that somehow he's this Union breaking superhero (he's not, he's a rich arsehole). The rulings smack of a deal between walsh and the courts, they're rediculous technicalities that no sensible person would even countenance as truly legitimate for ruling a properly balloted and democratically voted for strike illegal. Walsh and BA are desperately buying time and trying to stall the process enough to exhaust the Union members. I hope and pray it doesn't work.
You want your workers not to strike? Sit down and talk properly to get a deal. Walsh and BA haven't done that. Militancy on both sides is costing the company, Brown was right not to get involved in this, and I'm sorry to the rest of the thread if this is shitting it up, but the way you sir have seemingly celebrated and delighted in the rulings against Unions angers me greatly. Like I said, one day, the management will come for you too. They always do.
