Are you now saying you think BA are going to sit and negotiate after 5months of waiting?
Unite have engaged with BA over the last 4 weeks on behalf of engineering and secured a reasonable solution which is many times better than the original BA proposal. The CR notices have been put on hold pending the results from a ballot currently taking place. Basically a 5% cut in basic pay for two years and a reduction of 3 days annual leave to mitigate CR.
So, yes, after many months of banging heads and poor relations between TU and management, it seems we have an accord.
