So the strike is still on going, to me this is quite bizarre, but perhaps someone can explain it to me.
If I was a BA worker, I would be happy with my above industry average wage especially when compared to other UK carriers.
I would also be worried about the long term financial state of the company given the troubles of late.
Also I wouldn't be squandering money on union dues, when legal insurance can be had for £5 per annum.
So I would be powerless to stop the union destroying the company.
Why do I think they are destroying them? I've flown 12 times year to date, and only a 3rd of the time on business. I've got more coming up, and BA is on my no fly list, no way I'm putting myself at risk.
I'm sure I'm not alone, you'd have to be a complete numpty or have no choice to book BA at the moment, most insurances have clauses saying that you should have known the industrial action was likely (fair enough, you should) and will not refund.
I don't think there are any people who are going all "yey for unionisation in the 21st century" and flying BA rather than virgin!
So what can a worker who has an ounce of logical reasoning do, nothing that are at the mercy. This is what I really don't like, the ones who want the status quo, are powerless to stop it been attacked.
Also I just can't think how someone thinks unions are needed in this day and age, there are no mill towns owned by one person, there is no oppression that needs to be fort against.
