Following this week's strike vote at BA, the British Airlines Stewards and Stewardesses Association (Bassa) has upset a few people over its campaign poster mirroring the iconic image of US soldiers raising a flag after the 1945 Battle of Iwo Jima.
The Marine Corps War Memorial Foundation, said the use of the image was "extremely offensive, inappropriate and repugnant".
Nearly 7,000 US servicemen were killed and 26,000 wounded in the fighting and a statue based on the picture became a focal point at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia. So perhaps it is a tad inappropriate for the lefties at Bassa to use their photoshop skills for their own campaigning purposes.
