Hey lots of snow down here, looking good so far!
Not at all surprised to see that the High Court ruled in favour of British Airways management and declared the Unite strike illegal. It is a well known fact that the courts will almost always take a stand against the workers. The courts have decided that balloting the 900 members of Unite that were in between being with BA and leaving makes the action invalid. They were not interested in the Unite argument that the information, although requested was not made available to them. This would be seen as a totally ridiculous situation anywhere else but not here.
In addition the press presented the result as a victory for common sense. One idiotic travel writer (whatever that bloody means?) went on television and destroyed his ticket in front of the camera screaming and stating that his holiday had been ruined (this was of course before the result) so the 'lets all be miserable and hate everyone' mood so encouraged by the media prevailed again and the message once again is the workers have very little rights and it doesn't matter if management want to reduce their pay by 30% and destroy their terms and conditions of service they should be grateful for having a job and get on with it! But, and its a big bad, we should continue working hard to bail the bloody banks out and pay bankers their bonuses for taking major risks and messing the world economy up?? This isn't right!
Ridiculous that people like yourself in leadership positions are still supporting the labour party! You contradict yourselfs constantly!
ReplyDeleteI agree - it is not right.
ReplyDeleteThe recession has given many employers a good excuse to treat staff shoddily. We have become such a self-centred society that so few people care that workers' rights are being eroded.
Right...

ReplyDeleteYou are so right. We have become very self centered plus materialistic and we live in shallow land. But there is nothing to stop idialists and free thinkers from fighting for justice and fair play. We will not achieve that through our MPs most of whom are busy claiming for their new chandaliers so the fight becomes the responsiblity of those of us who are free thinkers and don't allow dogma to dominate our thoughts.
Thanks for your comments.
A little known way of obtaining cheap flights is by signing on as an air courier with a courier company. The courier company purchases the ticket from the airline and sells it to the courier for a really cheap price in return for their work. thy uçak bileti
