BA Stand firm

BA cabin crew workers are set to meet MPs later today as the last of the 5 day strikes draws to a close. They will tell the MPs that BA is gripped by a climate of fear, however Willie Walsh CEO of BA has stated his company would hold out for as long as it takes instead of giving in to Union.

Mr Walsh went on to say flight numbers would continue to rise amid plans for more strikes, which the union has said will take place if an agreement can not be reached. Today is the 21st day BA has operated with a depleted work force.

But it is obvious that they are adapting well to the strikes as they run more flights each time they are in operation and with Willie Walsh claiming he will not back down. You wonder what the unions will try next as more workers are now feeling the pinch of having huge holes in their wage packets.
