Off Topic Airport Strikes

Anybody else likely to be affected? We're flying to Manchester on 23rd..

Swissport and UNITE are to sit down Tuesday so hopefully i will be resolved.. I don't think they can afford to let this happen over Christmas

 

I might well be
Flying to New York Boxing Day to New Years Eve
BA baggage handlers are on strike, and I booked through them although I'm actually on American Airlines

Not much we can do about it though, and as a trades unionist who has been on strike myself I'm not going to moan about it. Hopefully it gets sorted and the workers who keep the companies able to post huge profits get what they need

 

We are due to fly from Manchester to Lanzarote on Friday the 23rd. Hope it gets bloody sorted else it could be chaos.

 

Good attitude to have. There's been a lot of spiteful ****e on social media and comments sections in newspaper articles about BA staff. I mean, they earn £1000 a month for working incredibly long shifts and British Airway are estimated to make £2.24bn. Some people have the attitude that worker's rights should be discarded for some whenever it poses an inconvenience to them. The whole point of a strike is to be inconvenient; if it wasn't nothing would change.

 

Again, who mentioned politics?

 

To be fair he didn't say anyone had mentioned it.

 

Im flying to Benidorm from Liverpool on 24th
****!

 

I fly home from Jordan on the 21st via Istanbul to Manchester. Can't wait to get home for a couple of weeks.

 

I got an E-mail overnight asking If I had been party to a cancelled flight for 3 hours or more or a cancelled flight in the past 6years. Compensation waiting. Jackals.

 

Good news for some of you Christmas travellers.

Good stuff
Doesn't affect me yet, but hopefully BA will follow suit

 

The ball's in British Airway's court. All they have to do is give their staff a living wage. They can afford to; they make a profit of billions of £s.

Does this sort you Den?

 

Hope none of the airline staff have to work on Xmas Day.

 

Does the Sleigh/Sled - Reindeer require Tower Clearance. ?

Think On. Potentially keeping Aero plane ✈ 's out of the Sky, Is obviously only about making the Airspace available for Santa Claus.

What about Santa's baggage handlers, are they bound by Union rules.?

 

Proud of your response there, tash x
