British Airways cabin crew strikes are soon to begin.
I know I am not the only one who is thoroughly confused and
concerned that Unite (the trade union), may only be
interested in 'winning' for its own reputation's sake rather
than the bigger picture.
British Airways has countless problems; The price of
oil is heading sky high once again, other competitors are
subsidized by their governments, there has been a global financial
crisis so many are not travelling as much as 3 years ago and
then the real issue that is at the epi-centre of this shaking is
that BA staff already get paid about twice as much as Virgin and
others.
The other monster in the room that we should try not to mention
for now is that BA has a pension deficit to the tune of about £3
billion. IN fact in the city BA is often described as a
delinquent pension fund with a troublesome airline alongside!
Now that I have a set a context for the strikes perhaps you can
join me in offering support to the head of British Airways (Willie
Walsh) who is doing everything he can to save this institution.
