Hey, if enough workers don't take up the offer the alternative is to fire a bunch of them. Also, anyone with any form of decent savings should easily be able to survive without 1 months worth of pay.

Now, it would be an outrage if he asked them to not get paid, but he didn't do it too. However, I think if they really want to get the employees to do it, all the staff that makes 200k/year should take 1 month of no pay.


Who's got saving these days, most people in UK earn less than £16,000 a year, in the UK prices are just to high.  Petrol (Gas as you call it in the states) is over £1 a litre, household bills are up, council tax is way to high, food always on the rise.  The banks/councils/loan people don't want to know if your getting paid or not, all they want is you to paid them.

But I remember years ago BA staff striking over some cost cutting stuff going on at BA.  At that time no-one was being sacked but the unions were up in arm about it and were fighting these measures.  I think BA backed down in the end but not so sure.

End of the day BA flights cost just to much,  I just look.. Manchester to Rome is nearly £300 return and then you gota chance planes, but at ryanair it cost less than £150 return for a direct flight thats were the problem is.

Unpaided leave is one thing, but asking staff to work for nothing is another........
