Fair point, Freddy.
But,.......bear in mind that this information has come from the company. The same company that claimed that the VNV were
opposed to the original Balpa proposals, at a time when the VNV had not even seen or heard of the proposals!!!
Unless you have inside info on what the VNV's demands are, it may be better to keep an open mind, and not readily jump to the pessimistic conclusion, in agreement with the company, that the VNV
"have raised the compensation requirements to a higher level preventing any agreement". Especially as you do not know if what the company percieve as 'too high' might seem reasonable to you, and even to Balpa.
A win win solution is still possible, and is the only sustainable outcome, in my opinion, but everyone just needs to hold their nerves
