NOT in solidarity with the IPG Pilots strike

Striking because comrades from the other part of your merged airline get to fly the Dreamliner and you don't?

Striking when your actions are bound to have terrible repurcussions on especially Class III and Class IV staff of the airline who have anyway been going without salary for months now? (Yes, you too have not been paid, but your pay cheque has had many more zeroes than theirs since, well, the 1990s)?

Striking because career progression is supposedly affected (more like egos hurt me thinks...) when the survival of the airline is at stake?

Striking when that just helps the right-wingers say THIS is why you shouldn't have unions?

Striking at a time which allows the Civil Aviation Minister say the Government has no business running an airline?

Cheapening the achievement of years of labour struggle and making a mockery of workers who actually strike with reason? For shame!
