Exactly. People are so quick to jump because it disrupts their holiday. Perhaps they were at the end of their ropes and not being paid. Would you keep working if you were owed back pay?

Certainly got their attention!

Well said.

AGREE

From reading the story, my take was that they WANTED a pay increase and that the airport had not agreed to it, because they said they couldn't afford it. That's a little different spin. OR the Daily Herald got it wrong, which newspapers often do.

Arrived yesterday to a very friendly and accommodating staff at the airport. Very busy day for them with all of Mondays canceled flights arriving in addition to normal traffic. Air France and 2 A/A flights arrived at about the same time and the only slow down was with baggage claim. Thru no fault of the employees there is only one baggage turnstile for the entire airport.
