I love some of the original quotes I read in the document.... Hmm seems I've seen that before? Oh yeah that would be in the Unite document that they publicized when Wait for it... BA baggage & ground staff went on strike about 18 months ago. That one was pretty much the same argument as this, staff cuts & conditions, but that one seems to have gone away & I don't recall seeing a big Unite party because they won. Which means that the staff saw reason that cuts had to be made for the company to stay solvent. This is pretty much the argument here so the question is Why. UNITE do not have the final say the members do! So why did the ground staff resolve their strike, but the cabin staff seem unable to? Did BA give the ground staff what they like because BA likes them more? Of course not, they quite simply were more willing to see the big picture. if a a company is going to survive a recession it has to get smart on its purse strings........ How many people that read this Blog had a pay freeze/cut this year. How many companies have pulled staff perks to survive. Mine did! Did I strike? Did you all strike? In short NO. Recessions aren't nice, but people have to suck it in a bit in the hope their company survives & they still have a job come the end. BA employees Thousands of people globally. Keep striking Cabin staff & soon you'll have no job to come back too?? UNITE will obviously see that as a win! But with all those employees out of work that'll be a significant reduction in union subs? So no one is going to win this full stop. Everyone needs to sit down and find a compromise. Well put mate.
