The rat-race is for rats - the BA judicial coup explained‏

A timely analysis on the 21st Century Socialism website explains in detail the judicial coup d'etat against the BA workers. It is both a case study in the politics of the British judiciary and a call to arms for BA workers to perservere with the struggle.

"The law, the media, and the 'irresistible' forces of the market are ranged against them...by an overwhelming majority, British Airways cabin crews have declined the invitation to enter that race to the bottom. Though their morale has inevitably been somewhat dented by the edict of the High Court, and by the hysterical frenzy of the media campaign against them, they will ballot again; and this time, their trade union may find a way through the minefield of anti-strike legislation."
