Adventures of Link: More Strikes in '08

Think this is bad?

We're now less than two weeks away from a massive strike that could affect more than a million passengers at seven UK airports. Workers are upset about pension rules, and plan to walk out for 24 hours on January 7 and again on January 14. If that doesn't work, they'll strike for 48 hours beginning January 17.

Now, we're not sure that the strike will happen--the last one we heard about didn't--but if you're flying one of those days, you'd better call up your airline to ask about what might happen. That goes double if you're flying Virgin Atlantic: Cabin crews for the airline are planning two strikes of their own in January.
