Striking Down the Economy

Does union action stand for a fight against exploitation and injustice? I would definitely not say so about the planned 20 day strike action by Unite, the British Airways union. Driven by an impeccable, self-righteous sense of entitlement, Unite seems to be in a relentless, suicidal pursuit of destroying economic value. It seems that it is taking a sadistic pleasure in killing the very source of its own bread and butter without taking into account the current economic scenario.

The boding is not very good as heaven only knows what mayhem will be unleashed once the new Government tries to put in austerity measures. it doesn't look like that UK is game for the impending hard times, and unions would lead this charge of self-immolation. I wonder what lies ahead.
