BA asks employees to work for free
THE commentariat is spluttering at the news that British Airways has asked its employees to work unpaid for up to a month. Desperate times (BA recently announced an annual loss of 401m) are calling for desperate measures.
Willie Walsh, BA's chief executive, made the request to his 40,000 staff in an article in the in-house magazine. It follows an earlier request for workers to take between a week and a month of unpaid leave, which over 1,000 have already agreed to.
"I am looking for every single part of the company to take part in some way in this cash-effective way of helping the company's survival plan," Mr Walsh wrote. "It really counts." Mr Walsh and his chief financial officer will set an example by working for nothing in July. (Although that's not such a sacrifice if, as in the case of Mr Walsh, you're trousering 735,000 a year.)
The Guardian notes that several hundred BA staff have already volunteered to work gratis, and ponders why they would do so.
"Either they have high levels of commitment to the firm," he said, "or they have high levels of insecurity."
As Walsh has refused to rule out compulsory redundancies at the airline, you don't need paying to work out which of the above is the most likely motivator.
