You won’t get me I’m part of the union!
It seems like the British Airways/Unite dispute has been running for ages, and still no agreement has been reached. Shame on the section of union members who voted for the disruption to service, that do not seem to grasp the fact that BA is currently a loss making business and to be competitive, pay and perks need to be bought down to a level that is closer to the other air carriers.
Gone are the days of BA’s dominance in the British airline business. Now there is lots more choice, consumers have more options for flights than ever before. By remaining steadfast in their refusal to compromise, all Unite are doing is weakening an already fragile business that cannot take the level of losses and public confidence forever. My take on modern day employment – if you do not like working for a company, leave! It amazes me a union can bring a company to it’s knees by blocking essential streamlining that is evidently needed.
