As British Airways staff ready to vote, again, on the possibility of strike action (as shown in the Guardian today) to affect another major holiday period (this one is set to be Christmas folks) we have to ask if they have really been paying attention. http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2009/oct/26/ba-cabin-crew-strike-vote
BA has obvious problems, having faced a huge fine for fare fixing in 2007 as shown by the BBC http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/6925397.stm it has been left in a position where it has asked staff to take extra holidays or unpaid time off to avoid redundancy. But no, the unions think that this is the wrong answer and instead want to force people to question why they should risk booking tickets during the peek season for planes that might not fly.
I will be the first to admit that I am not an economist, but, and please correct me if I am wrong, surely if you want your boss to give you more money then you must make him more money, and if you threaten to do your best to cripple him financially, then this is blackmail...
