Happy birthday and best wishes for the day

Sandy you are correct
How can a company change its working practices when it is being held to ransom by a Union that will not
Bassa had 2 years to get a deal with BA and refused to come to the table , they bullied non striking members with drew labour and then tried to bring other unions outside the UK into the dispute
Their cause was and is on a shaky leg ,look how many time BA took them to court and won making any strike Illegal ,BA is well with in their rights to sack those who striked but haven’t they cant strike on the original cause any more due to Bassa failing to negotiate (They seem to like to dictate) with in the 12 week period so now they are trying again using the removal of Non contractual benefits
CC signed a contract which states Travel benefits are non contractual are Non Negotiable and can be removed at any time , they signed it and they knew what could happen

Sound like Bulling to me but not from BA

I can’t believe we’re hear again either, but since we are. I really cannot believe that this dispute has still not been resolved. Certainly since the last time I posted, the overall economic situation in the country has got worse, despite the propaganda peddled by “The Ministry of Truth” this is irrefutable. Yet against this background, people are still prepared to countenance industrial action.

I honestly, and without malice aforethought, would like someone better informed than I, to please illustrate the justification, and the motivation behind, the actions of the individuals pushing for possible industrial action. My own opinion is that for some reason, the union leaders and its members still appear to be blind to todays economic reality. I know I’ve mentioned this before, but I just don’t get it. I find it incredible that these union leaders and their members, who must, like the rest of us, see and hear almost on a daily basis about the seemingly constant stream of redundancies and company closures, can even consider industrial action at this time.

Its not about economics its a power battle, the Unions want to Run BA like they have in the past ,pure and simply and the BA Management aren’t going to let them

I’d rather edit my posts to show only figures that have been directly quoted from sources that I provide in my original post, and am not reminded to have to provide one?

The reason for editing my post was because I was, and still am, confused about where the 14,000 figure came from; no mention of it in the source you provided, thats all?

14500 was the cabin crew membership quoted by BASSA Last Year ,it was on their website ,If you Looked

well well even unite agree with me
http://www.unitetheunion.org/news__events/latest_news/ba_vote_shows_cabin_crew_remai.aspx

They only polled 70% of the 14000 members

apology accepeted:diablo:

Yet again some one get,s their sums wrong out of 14,000 member’s only 7,000 voted and 6,000 decide they want to strike that leaves 8,000 who don’t, that’s 58% of staff who want to work

Think that speaks for it self :rolleyes::rolleyes:
