BA Unions specifically UNITE/Cabin Crew - have started to ballot their members about Christmas strike action. Willie and the Boys are not going to have a Merry Christmas and - even worse - nor will their customers it would appear. I spoke to many BA staff yesterday - about 20 on the ground and a further number Cabin Crew as I wandered around T5. The sentiment was very much against the management. The word "bitter" was brought to mind. I also spoke to a station leader who confirmed that the station was almost 100% for voting for strike action.
It would appear that BA is on a collision course with its staff and the customer as usual will suffer. With BA having slimmed down significantly over the last 24 months - one can only imagine that the ability of "management" staff to step in has been almost eliminated.
Perhaps time to look at alternates for the Xmas break
This is going to end in tears for a lot of people.
Its such a shame I think BA are a great airline, I hope that standards dont drop.
