 Poster: A snowHead
|
According to Skynews:-
The GMB said strikes will be held on Good Friday, Easter Saturday and Easter Monday.
Passengers flying on holiday for the holiday break could be disrupted by the planned action at the airport in Essex.
Ryanair, which operates out of Stansted, said it would only allow its passengers to carry hand luggage if the strike goes ahead.
Hopefully some sense will prevail.

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Wonder if Ryanair will reimburse those passengers who have paid for hold luggage but who ultimately will find that they can't actually take it?
And nice of the baggage handlers to strike on one of the busiest holiday periods of the year and thus ensuring that thousands of people end up missing their hard earnt and expensive holidays.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

jimmybog, having a strike when there would be minimal impact would be pointless. I feel your pain - but if there is a right to strike, if a strike is to be effective it follows that it will be disruptive.

Doesn't cause me a pain as I'm not travelling anywhere. Just feel for those people who've spent a lot of money on a holiday or flights who are restricted to going during school holiday time and then finding out they can't actually go. As much as I feel for those wanting to strike due to work conditions, pay etc, I just feel that their action will cause untold misery to thousands of people who are not responsible for the strikers work conditions, pay etc in the first place. Just hope all those people have got good travel insurance!!

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

jimmybog, I feel pretty much as you do - and I am not sure about what I think about the right to strike. Given that it is presently enshrined in law, if workers want to strike, they are obviously going to do so when they can have maximum effect. Whether workers should have the right with out putting their jobs at risk is another matter. I can't imagine the government taking this one on right now, though.
