Well the scheduled 'final end of the road talks' have now concluded.
And the result? Well I don't really know(!!)
From the BASSA website:
"Talks suspended at 01.15 Saturday morning. They will continue through the weekend to try and reach a conclusion. It should not be lost on our membership that BASSA, by virtue of its stand alone situation outside of EG300, that we have made substantial inroads in the most sensitive areas of the policy. These achievements will be enjoyed by other trade groups as well, assuming we can reach agreement with BA.
We hope to tell you more as things develop, but please remember these negotiations have been difficult to say the least - mainly because other trade groups signed up to the policy 15 months ago. If BALPA had been more thoughtful and not rushed to sign up - our subsequent negotiations would have much easier!"
