my pity is reserved for the poor plane spotters who will be sitting around for 2 days without anything to spot and jot down the numbers. !!!

Clearly even Pete is disillusioned with Nu Labia and is turning into a Tory before our very eyes

Yes that is true but that's not the only reason that they're going on strike.
They say that new employees get minimum wage. Well that may be true but surly they must have known that when they signed up, no?
They say that they are getting bullied to go to work. Regardless if that’s true or not and to what extent that this bullying goes to is not for us to judge and claims like this need to be taken very seriously and investigated properly. I feel that that is a perfectly good reason to strike about if I'm honest.
There are other reasons, I think, but the 2 above are the only ones I felt the need to comment about.

They don't have 22 days off a year sick. They USED to average 22 days per year until a new sickness policy was introduced. The average is now 12 days.. The strike is in repsonse to the new sickness policy and numerous other issues.

There you go again Pete, talking out of your ****. Like most industrial disputes, the truth is never as black and white as the media makes out.
1 example. BA's Heathrow average sickness is worse than BA's at Gatwick. Perhaps, you say, all the "scumbags" work at Heathrow? Maybe, but I'll tell you that the majority of BA's long-haul operation is based out of Heathrow. BA @ LGW is mainly short-haul. Try spending 16 hours at 38,000ft, in 10% humidity, with 400 passengers coughing, sneezing, belching, and farting, all the while breathing recirculated air, and see what happens to your sickness record.
Just a though.
And no, I don't work for BA.

Striking is for lazy and the dumb. If you dont like where you work, why work there? If the pay is pants, why did you agree to join on that wage? If the way you are treated is pants, find another job.
I was working for an IT company from Oct 05 to July 06 and they treated their staff appallingly. I handed in my resignation and found myself something else. Easy peasy...
I am now happier than Ainsley Harriot when he presents Ready Steady Cook...
Striking is selfish. Inconveniencing the innocent public to make a point and in some cases risking the innocent publics lives (well done firemen)...
Unions should be outlawed IMO. Sack anyone who strikes.
