Late final week,female members of British Airways’ Mixed Fleet cabin crews won the contractual just to own trousers as a uniform option. The distinction of “Mixed Fleet” is important here, because the female employees in British Airways’ Worldwide crews already had slacks as a uniform option.whether you’re not familiar with the labor relations history at British Airways, and the key thing to know for purposes of this discussion is that BA has two flight attendant contracts. The Worldwide flight attendants are the more senior,and no one has been hired under that contract since 2010. The Mixed Fleet crew was formed as a response to deteriorating negotiations between Worldwide and management, so they own a completely different set of work rules, and salaries,etc.
And apparently fragment of that has involved some contention over wardrobe.
Given that we’re talking about a Western airline in 2016, this seems like the obvious eventuality, and so I was a bit shocked when I scrolled past “British Airways Flight Attendants Win the just to Wear Pants! Is That a Good Thing?” in my Twitter feed.
It's a loaded question.
