British Airways makes moves to punish organizers of "wildcat" strike - 10/26/05

By Jesse Russell

British Airways is planning to punish the three union shop stewards that the company claims were behind the Heathrow solidarity strikes in August. After 670 Gate Gourmet staff members were fired, more than 1,000 members of British Airways support staff walked off in solidarity. The Transport and General Workers Union says it may call for a formal strike if three stewards are sacked.
