British Airways

British Airways are at it again. BA management have declared that checking in staff and baggage handlers will be given a 3 week training course in safety (instead of the rigorous 6 week standard module) to enable them to take over when cabin crew go on strike very shortly. They are therefore the first major company to openly declare war on organised trade unions. I am hoping that trade union members will refuse to accept this 'offer' of additional training and not cooperate. This is a signal that employers and the government will be attacking workers in order to save their banker friends. The media have stopped reminding us who created the crisis and they are now concentrating on ensuring that we pay the price hence the zero per cent pay offer to local government employees the other day. This is not acceptable and I don't need to say that we in the left and the left of the left must get more united??
