Yup - that'd seem likely. Bit sloppy of the union though eh?..

I'm giving presents or cash for family and close friends, not because I'm into the Christmas thing. But because I know I'll be getting something, so it would be churlish not to respond in kind.... I could truely give a gnats fart for the fairy story of a sprog in a manger, a jewish minx who got pregnant before she got married, a celestial event and 3 pimped up rich dudes on camels....

Good news indeed. The union leader seemed pretty ****ed off that he was not going to be able to ruin 1000's of people's travel plans.
Quote:

He admitted that while there would be "great euphoria" among the travelling public, the union would immediately put in place plans for a fresh ballot alongside its continuing negotiations with BA.
|
What a prat.
Glad to see the courts saw sense and kicked the unions butt.
One member of staff said this about the strike
Quote:
One BA cabin crew worker contacted the BBC to say she was "delighted" the strike had been stopped.
"I voted for the strike but never dreamt it would be for 12 days over Christmas," she said.
"I'm delighted it's been stopped, we have the upmost respect and regard for our customers and I'm glad we have the opportunity to show this over the festive season."
|
So i wonder did the union tell there staff how long and when the strike would be . ????

It could well be, they're clearly out of their minds on something.
