Even if you do not “agree” with the rights or wrongs of this particular strike you should accept it was fundamentally wrong of the High Court to have banned a strike which had such overwhelming support by union members in a free and fair secret ballot. As even Lord Chief Justice Lord Judge is (Evening Standard) said “it seems curious that BA should use a law introduced to protect union members from irresponsible and undemocratic actions by union leaders to circumvent the democratic wishes of the workers”.

even tory blogger iain dale said it was wrong
ReplyDelete11 spoilt ballot papers, most with donald duck or people who voted yes or no
out of 10,000
court ordered ballot illegal
yet people didnt even get to vote in hendon costing labour the seat
is legal
what a joke
I hear they suspended BA staff who cheered outside court
ReplyDeleteWalsh has lost it
BA staff should think themselves lucky that they even have a job, selfish, selfish. A strike over travel perks when there are millions out there without a regular wage. Makes me sick! Let's hope they will be the first to go when BA make staff cuts!
ReplyDeleteHi Kate
ReplyDeleteTypical tory tripe. You obviously don't believe in democracy or even understand that the overwhelming majority of staff support this strike in secret ballot after secret ballot.
