Hope we see more such "unofficial" strikes in the future.

Good to see such solidarity.


The BA chief executive, Sir Rod Eddington said it was "a huge disappointment" that the airline had "become embroiled in someone else's dispute".

Yeah, right. As if a contractor would sneeze if BA disapproved. I'm sure they're the contractor's main if not only customer.

just shows you the actual power of the working class.

There seems to be a real lack of direction coming from alot of union leaderships - it seems that members aren't putting up with this.

all coverage of this on american media that i saw did not discuss why anyone was striking, nor did they explain why there was support with the airline workers striking. all they focused on were delayed flights and the people missing hte flights, hmmm sounds fishy to me, trying to focus on the delay portion and not what they were striking about.
