stupidity

It's a thoughtful Monday morning for me today.
I'm reading the news and wondering about the folly of showing solidarity without thinking.

Subject in question: Gate Gourmet
Staff protests about low pay, holds an impromptu strike, 670 staff gets sacked. Gate Gourmet staff makes even more noise. BA staff then decides to hold a sympathy strike causing BA such grief that they don't want to work with Gate Gourmet any more.
Result? The possibility of Gate Gourmet going into administration. Woohoo, then *everyone* loses jobs. Bravo.

Common sense for breakfast anyone?
