BA and attendance.
Well I guess this is one mainly for the BA bois and gals but everyones welcome to put their two pence worth in!
BASSA (BA mainline cabin crew union) announced today that talks between them and BA regarding the new sickness policy have broken down, and if BA tries to impose the new policy they will ballot for industrial action immediately.
For those on you non-BA ers, the new sickness policy is a company wide system of attendance monitoring. Basically there are different trigger points based on days or occassions sick and you enter into different levels of the process. The top one being dismissal. Every work group within BA has signed up for this except for the Cabin Crew as we believe it is unfair on us because we cant come to work with say blocked ears or cold sores where as someone working behind a desk could.
I was just wondering though, how many people would vote for industrial action on this subject? Im a bit split on the issue myself....
