BA employees seem at constant threat for redundancy, budget trimming and everything else. Even after the massive fat trimming already taken place, management still wants more. I would imagine it is difficult in such an atmosphere for workers to feel they must cooperate, or cede ground.
At BA, the dinosaur parts of the operation are starting to make the reformed parts feel that they are being unfairly treated by their fellow employees. It's no longer just a "management vs workers" thing. But the dinosaurs don't care.
