Re: Back to the 1970s?

Well, secondary action may no longer be legal, but it seems Unite is determined to get as close to it as possible:

Quote:
The Unite union wants to raise a £700,000 fighting fund from members to help support striking British Airways cabin crew.

Unite intends to impose what it said was an "unprecedented" levy on its almost 2 million members.

So, almost 2 million people working in private companies totally unconnected with BA, its staff and the dispute between them, are going to have their pockets dipped by Woodley and his thugs to help pay for their fight with the airline. How wonderfully fair and democratic.
