The video below which has been posted on Youtube shows the joy which met British Airways staff decision to to go on strike. 92% voted in favour of strike action. One worker asked the question if they could be sacked and a lawyer responded by saying the staff had protection for 12 weeks - if they were sacked during this time, they would have an immediate "unfair dismissal" claim which would be very expensive for British Airways.
Following on from my post about referees yesterday and their influence over an organisation, this is British Airways employees using the withdrawl of their labour as a way of influencing the business.
The issue for the employees is how the public react. Passengers affected by a 12-day strike over Christmas are not likely to be overly sympathetic to their decision.
