BA strike schedule has more holes than Swiss cheese,
says Unite
23 March 2010
Responding to the publication today (Tuesday) of BA's planned
flights during next week's four day strike, Tony Woodley, joint
general secretary of Unite - the union representing striking BA
cabin crew - said: "Passengers will take one look at next weekend's
strike schedule and rightly ask what on earth is going on. This
schedule has more holes than a Swiss cheese
"Is BA really saying that it would rather hit the travel plans
of tens of thousands of people for another weekend than negotiate a
settlement?
"Passengers are paying for management machismo. BA management
should spend more time on addressing their employees' concerns and
less on fantasy schedules sending empty planes to unknown
destinations."
Unite says that last weekend's strike was supported by four out
of five cabin crew. It also says that BA is relying on the costly
purchase of flights from other carriers in order to ferry its
passengers, which will result in a substantial loss of revenue for
the airline.
