BA is not a workers commune or a co-operative. Let me turn the tables here. Are YOU seriously suggesting that a company owner/manager DOES NOT have the right to do exactly that, whilst confirming to employment laws and contractual obligations?
No, indeed BA is not a commune or co-operative, and no, I am not suggesting that a company owner/manager does not have the right to do it, but what I would expect is for the managers to approach the workers and perhaps ask for their involvement in the process, as it is often the workforce that are good at finding areas of waste and expense that can be reduced in order to save on costs, rather than immediately hitting their pay packets and/or terms and conditions of employment.
Another Apple culture moment: “Empower employees to make a difference.”
I would not bow down and say yes, if I didn’t like what was being offered. I would leave.
But being realistic SH, you wouldn’t simply just leave without knowing that there was a job available for you to leave too as you would be cutting your nose to spite your face and in this case. Many of these people have families to support and are not going to want make their own position even worse off, and neither should they be made to either!?
Again, I question WW’s acceptance of his bonus…despite his hard work in getting the merger with IB through and establishing IAG, he should really think twice about taking it, otherwise it will just serve to cause even more problems. But then again, like most other CEO’s, he’s motivated by money and greed, and as long as he’s looked after ok…he couldn’t give a s**t or care less about anyone else, a truly evil man!:mad:
In a strong, healthy, growing economy the employee holds the strong hand.
Not necessarily true…whats to stop BA from imposing further changes to the workers even if the economy is strong, healthy and growing and they are making a profit, nothing.
