Folks these days are intolerant of strikes, I remember back to the 70's when we were hard pushed to find a time when someone wasn't on strike

Having watched the entire balance of power move completely away from unions to employers, I will happily put up with a bit of inconvenience to reassert workers rights and improve the balance. These things are very important to me, and should be to all, particularly at a time when workers could be getting absolutely hammered shortly.

Couldn't agree more, the pendulum has swung too far the other way, it's great that people are getting back behind workers in many sectors and seeing past the demonisation that have dogged many years.

A strike planned by British Airways pilots for 27 September has been called off, the pilots' union has said.

The British Airline Pilots Association's general secretary, Brian Strutton, said on Wednesday: "Someone has to take the initiative to sort out this dispute and with no sign of that from BA the pilots have decided to take the responsible course.

"In a genuine attempt at establishing a time out for common sense to prevail, we have lifted the threat of the strike on 27 September."

The union warned on Wednesday that it retained the right to announce further strike dates "should BA refuse meaningful new negotiations."

It said: "BA passengers rightly expect BA and its pilots to resolve their issues without disruption and now is the time for cool heads and pragmatism to be brought to bear.



...AnnieK’s impact, I reckon......
