With the impending strike action planned by some Virgin Atlantic Cabin crew, (Read the original BBC News article here) Sir Richard Branson is talking tough in his answer!

The planned strike (the first industial action in the airline's history) is due to start next Wednesday (09/01/2008 at 6am) for 48 hours each, and on Wednesday 16th January 2008, also from 6am for 48 hours.

"Unite union members say Virgin crews are underpaid compared with their counterparts at other airlines."(BBC News)

Sir Richard has condemned the strikers in a letter that was sent to the 4,800 cabin crew.

"For some of you, more pay than Virgin Atlantic can afford may be critical to your lifestyle and if that is the case you should consider working elsewhere."

Tough talk methinks!
