Not been past them, but the weather says to expect rain shortly. Will that
be the end of the protests?

I wondered that. I went past T4 this morning and there was small
presence but nothing like the numbers peviously seen.

Though GG failed to stop the protests they did manage to limit the number of
protestors to 5.

Looks as though GG are about to go belly up so it will be lot more than
670 out of a job. I wonder who the unions will go and thump then.

What's the betting they go broke one Friday and re-emerge the following
Monday as Gay Gourmet?

It's already what many in the meeja have been calling them since this
malarkey started.

BA properly. Unions never let reality get in the way of a good fight.

Unlikely; BA still needs the service, so many/most will be likely to
get a job in whatever organisation takes over.

The impression I get suggests to me that Gate Gourmet deserve to go
out of business.

They were saying that no other airline caterers have the capacity to
take on BA if GG was to vanish. I guess someone will buy the
operation, renegotiate the contract with BA and either re-employ the
staff on less £ or get cheaper staff in. Sad but likely...

No, in fact there's a big protest planned this Sunday. Incidentally, having
seen some of the unfortunates queuing for Gate Gourmet jobs outside Blue
Arrow in Uxbridge, I wasn't surprised to see there's now an airport security
scare.
Incidentally, I reckon if the sacked workers could get into the terminal
they could do a good trade in take-aways. Past experience of strikes in this
part of London is that the food on the picket lines can be a damn sight
better than anything the airlines provide.
