Not a fan of unions myself Mike. When I first started in the workplace I was in the union, but saw first hand how they screwed one guy over because he didn't join. The current action is testomny as to why I have never thought about joining one again. Quite often the Unions will take issues such as this BA issue and turn it into a major political issue to peddle their own adjenda's.
In the 3 years I have lived in the UK I have seen more disruptive union strike action than I did in the 34 years I lived in Australia. Some of the action is really stupid, but ends up, as I said being used for political reasons.
