Thoughts on BA cabin crew strike.

The Unite Union/Bassa, have announced the latest BA cabin crew strike dates.

I don’t have a lot to say on the matter, but it is an issue which winds me up. Your company is in financial trouble, and your protesting the cuts that could save the company – poor old BA, that’s a bad situation.

Despite the ballot being overwhelmingly in favour of a strike, I still believe fewer people will strike then voted for it. Many may vote for a strike hoping it doesn’t need to happen, seeing it as a hollow threat to get BA’s attention. If the strike does go ahead, many again will decide to work – they need the money (that’s why they are striking isn’t it, money?), plus they won’t want to lose the discount travel priviledges they have.

I think BA’s staff are very loyal, to the airline and to eachother, this is why they may all vote together, but will still work…

I guess We’ll see what happens soon enough!
