I don't believe in strike action. I'd never ever do it myself, it goes against all economic sense, and is something used by people who obviously have no idea of their role in a business and are selfishly looking out for themselves and not the group good of whoever they are working for. By striking you put the company itself at risk, especially in a competitive field like the airline industry.

Why shouldn't salaries and worker's benefits be detemined by the open job market, just as the price of goods in a shop is?

If you think you are paying underpaid, then go and work somewhere else. The basis: the company will get what it pays for!!

Don't believe in unions? Fine. But don't go around knocking people for using LAWFUL means to assure they get paid as much as they can. If a CEO can "negotiate" to get paid as much as he or she can why, then , is it "selfish" when employees do the same?

Speaking of selfishness ... when was the last time you took a voluntary pay cut to help out your company?

Didn't think so ...
