BA Cabin Crew: Jerry speaks out! Print E-mail
By http://www.jerryhicks4gs.com/   
Tuesday, 09 November 2010
Running simultaneously and arguably as crucial as the election for Unite’s General Secretary itself is the BA dispute and a proposal to ‘settle’ it. 12 months ago British Airways cabin crew on an 80% turn out, voted by a brilliant 92% to take strike action to defend their hard won terms and conditions. The dispute started as a result of the imposition and erosion of ‘Terms and Conditions’ but has been diverted by British Airways and is now being defined by staff travel and the disciplinary process. But with scores of cabin crew suspended and a dozen sacked, the proposed ‘deal’ is already unravelling.

Coalition's "Winter Of Discontent" Print E-mail
By Steve Jones   
Wednesday, 03 November 2010
london.gifWhenever any serious strike action took place during the tenure of the last Labour government, not least if it involved public sector workers, the bosses’ press and the TV news channels would start going on about a new “winter of discontent.” Almost invariably the same 1978/9 footage of rubbish pilling up in Leicester Square would be shown and assorted Tory MPs would rattle on about how Labour couldn’t control the unions and how different things would be if they were in power. Well they are in power now and what are we seeing?
