List members may be interested to see the article below in which the
corporate spying methods of BA management during the 2010 Cabin Crew
dispute has finally been admitted in its scope and scale.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/british-airways-spying-scandal-how-the-worlds-most-famous-airline-spied-on-its-own-staff-10076738.html

This was an unprecedented use of external agencies to spy on staffs'
private emails, SMS messages and Facebook postings. Of course, the irony is
that it all took place at the height of the 'hacking' scandal perpetrated
by the national newspapers against 'celebrities', some of whom have now
received substantial compensation.

Further background to the case is below:
