Airlines in Europe Face Wave of Strikes
Another article about the strikes going on in Europe over British- Airways. We learned about unions and strikes in my Economic Systems class. Here is another similar article: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/22/business/global/22air.html?ref=business. It seems as if this has started a trend with other airlines now.

What I find most interesting about this article is that British Airways cabin crew members are paid twice what crew members of rival airlines are paid, yet they were the first ones to go on strike. With British Airways losing 10.6 million dollars a day, I think it is only a matter of time before the airway is forced to raise wages for their workers.
