BBC NEWS | Business | BA staff reject cost-cutting plan
"The union Unite said it was prepared to consider a two-year freeze on pay."
Prepared to consider? BASSA suggested it in the first place.
"Unite claimed BA wanted to introduce a new "starter rate" of £11.000, but said this would lead to a two-tier workforce."
New entrant salary under present terms and conditions is £10.982. We also already have several tier workforces like old and new contracts (97).
I agree with Crash and Burn that only some 2000 was present at the meeting which is equivalent to around 14% of the entire workforce. Not really that much.
