Selfish because you think of no one but yourself, you don't care who you affect. Unite don't care that they are ruining family holidays of hard working people.
Yes, I agree that unions did a lot in the days of the dark satanic mills but those days are long gone, we have legislation for H&S, working Hours, working conditions, discrimination etc.
You can argue we would have thses laws if wasn't for unions and you may be right, but nowadays unions only exist to serve those that refuse to change. Maybe it'll take something like BA to under and put all their Unite members out of work for them to realise that times have changed.

you forgot the usual pierre you forgot to call me a racist or a facist or a bnp supporter or a bigot you can call me what you like
Sticks and Stones etc etc.
I have news for you pierre the days of the dark satanic mills are on the way back,you've only got to look at the newspaper telling you about the working conditions in the food factories to see this,you've only got to look at tv progs like the ones about the immigrants with 5.am to 5 pm working days.this would never have been allowed in the 70's the potato factory would have had to have worked shifts 6am til 2pm and 2 pm til 10pm.
now they employ immigrants and make them work 12 hour days or they get the sack.
yes sir happy days are here again,if your a boss.

Try telling this to the UAF supporters.
To be honest with you these cabin crew are wasting there time,you cant win a dispute with part time strikes and you can't win a strike when you have a government that are prepared to do anything to break the strike (miners strike).
and you will never win a strike with spineless people who strikebreak because they undermine the strikers every time.

Does the actions of strike-breakers or rogue police render that statement untrue? Of course not.
