British Airways is on strike. Just over 100,000 people a day are affected. It is a private company and has dozens of competitors. Gordon Brown said at the weelend that the Government would do whatever it coould to bring the dispute to and end.
Network Rail faces a strike next week. Over 4 million people a day will be affected. It is a public company* and has a monopoly over a key piece of national infrastructure. The Government has said it has no role to play.
Is it just me....?
*(I'm ignoring the legal niceties, just as Stephen Byers did when he expropriated it from its former owners).
