Pointless BA cabin crew march on Westminster

ba CABIN CREWBritish Airways cabin crew are in for a shock if they think they will garner any support for their gross stupidity in putting their jobs at risk by taking strike action.. When they head to the House of Commons today to put forward their case for the long-running dispute and why a settlement has yet to be found.

As the strike reaches its 21st day, Unite said dozens of crew would head to Westminster in a bid to brief MPs on what they say is the “climate of fear at the airline”. Oh please do grow up this is pathetic whinning…

The striking BA cabin Crew, are expected to wear red gags to symbolise their claims that some of their colleagues are being disciplined or dismissed for expressing concerns about BA’s management style, the union said. Unite says that 60 crew members have now been suspended and eight sacked in recent weeks.

Unite said that, “with trust in management at an all time low, BA’s insistence that those who took strike action must be punished with the loss of their staff travel, is preventing any progress on a deal.”

The protest will take place between 3pm to 3.30pm on Tuesday.

The last of the three five-day strikes by cabin crew is due to end on Wednesday but Unite has threatened to ballot members for further action unless the dispute is resolved.
