After a deal with BALPA, Unite / other representative groups’ ideals are undermined
How exactly?
We don't know what the deal is yet, we don't know if the membership will accept it..If it has "metrics" that UNITE regard as favourable I'd say that actually aids the other unions - on the " me too" basis".
It reminds me there is no togetherness in this industry any more.
The various Cabin Crew contracts at BA, and how they evolved, is witness to that..no need to bring "the pilots" into that argument.
