Even more interesting comments........My previous post was affected by guinness - the point I was struggling to make was that any industrial action might lack overwhelming support if more emphasis was not made on linking in to the negotiations,a tangible improvement to BARP. Whilst it is true to say that currently BARP membership is relatively small, every new FC joiner will swell the ranks. As a BARP member, I fully accept that I joined BA in the full knowledge that as a pension scheme, it is woefull. However, as a member of BALPA ( for many years prior to joining BA ) I have to question both the CC's and the then BA BALPA membership's "ROLE" in allowing BARP to be introduced. I am not for one moment suggesting that the FSC wouldn't have been scrapped but the terms of BARP are insulting! My real point is this : industrial action needs unity - why should BARP members support any proposed industrial action if we don't see a concrete commitment on the part of the CC and the NAPS membership to improving our plight?????
