Im a proud trade union member, and i will always support peoples right to strike, but....
Why go on strike in the summer holidays when you will hurt so many families.
Sorry, but this strike would have the same effect on Gatwick at anytime, you are just hurting families going on holls
All wrong for me |

"Just so I understand this correctly OP - you support the right to strike except when you don’t?
Read again if you dont understand"
Line 1: You always support the right to strike.
Line 4: It is all wrong.
I am guessing you were going on holiday via Gatwick and now you can’t? |

Yet you seem to have no appreciation of the fundamental power of industrial action when its most painful for the company  "
Of course i do, what a stupid comment
What im saying is that striking at a place like Gatwick would have the same effect in term time as it would in the summer holidays. Gatwick would loose millions anytime there is a strike and would quickly try to resolve it, it just hurts the working man more in the summer holls

no it won't. the more disruption caused, the more long term reputational damage caused and the greater the long term financial damage.
I now actively avoid flying from Brum due to the utter clusterfuck of the last time i flew in and out of there (a disaster of their own making, not the staff) |

I get that, and i fully understand striking in the busiest days , but we are talking about Gatwick here, any disruption on any day of the year im guessing will cost them millions. There will be hundreds or thousands of families who will have their holidays cancelled if this goes ahead. They will be hurt the most as its summer holidays for the kids |

I think it's less the cost (though I suspect the financial impact is also higher) but because it's so busy that the strikes will be harder to mitigate, and therefore have more impact. The company will want to minimise the disruption - and be under pressure from the very families you're talking about - so be more likely to negotiate, is what I assume the strikers' logic to be. |

It clearly wouldn't have the same effect, it 'seems' to have more impact when it hurts families. If industrial action did hurt anyone, then what's the point? |
