Bust the union, or bust

BA strike plan is classic union-busting technique | Business | guardian.co.uk:

Gregor Gall makes this astute point in the Guardian, about the aims of Willie Walsh (below) and the directors of BA:

British Airways Chief Executive Willie Walsh

"You'd think in the case of something close to mutually assured destruction, BA would seize upon the opportunity to avoid a damaging strike, especially when it's making huge losses.

Yet, here's the rub. Yes, BA will lose £100m in the strike, but the prize for it is much bigger. That prize is the decimation of Unite as a serious force in BA."
