Have to say, i’m finding it difficult to have much sympathy for the strikers, considering so many thousands of other workers in other industries (including my own) have had to go through ‘changes in working conditions’ if not full blown redundancy
I agree, Mr Mordon. This is easy meat for the Mail. Being one of the Mail’s favourite targets, doesn’t put you in the right. Have they learned nothing from the Thatcher years?
Nice bit of journalistic paraphrasing in the headline. I bet they were kicking themselves for not thinking of it yesterday. Perhaps that’s why they ran the same story again today.

Look at it from BA’s point of view, surely making small changes now, to improve the companies outlook, is better than doing nothing and then having to make thousands redundent when it goes belly-up or gets talen over.
I just wonder if action like this is really in the best interests of the employees in the long run.
The dispute, as much as anything, is about consultation. BA initially put a proposal to their staff, who overwhelmingly rejected it; they then imposed conditions regardless, without consulting the staff union at all.
I’m sure changes will have to be made; that doesn’t mean the changes BA management are suggesting are the right changes.

Well Mr Mordon,
Perhaps it’s time that a few more “grew a set”, as they say in America, and did something about it.
Let’s fact it, “sympathy” doesn’t go a long way towards putting food on the table.
Changing tack: Simon Cowell as 1st TV Billionaire.
Surely shome mishtake.
Messrs Murdoch and Berlusconi have priority.
Cathrine, the toast of Broadway! In what sense. Is her career in ruins?

‘taken’
Simon Cowell’s a trannie? I always thought ‘his’ breasts looked weird!
