Information
"Come on Flybe: what are your plans for Bristol?" says Red Snake and many other asking for info & rightly so.
The problem is would you believe it if they told you anything? Would you base a career altering decision (to go or stay) on a memo from management (anyone's) saying BRS is safe? I wouldn't.
Next alarm bell to ring is info via an SCC meeting. Management Lurve these. Consultation means diddley squat. They feed ideas, gauge the reaction & make it policy, or not, depending on the hassle level indicated.
If nobody threw chairs at them, it may be a runner. BACON is a recognised company. Recognition means that unless the agreement is formally cancelled, BACON CC have negotiation rights.
That is NOT the same as consultation. So, you all need recognition for Flybe CC & a joint effort from all of them, to negotiate something binding with management. A commitment. That said look at BACON, as one previous poster said "Future Size & Shape" all over again & again & again.
They probably don't even know themselves yet.
Then you need a streeetwise CC, who will not get eaten alive by managers who've done the "How to fcuk the union" course and know exactly how they intend to con everyone into thinking they're aiming for A, when in fact they'd looking atF or even Z.
It's a tough one & you need one tough joint CC effort. Good luck.
