I think you will find the 5 that have been sacked are for gross miss conduct, we had 2 in Engineering running businesses while sick, i would imagine there are similar examples for Cabin Crew, let me restate my comment then - how many people have been dismissed from BA under EG300 for being sick - Zero.
There must be more to this than EG300? i have been involved with EG300 and while i concur it does need tidying up it also has fixed hard and fast rules for support of employees with physical or mental problems, something that was never defined before its introduction ( left to your line manager ).
I agree with you the new contract rates are rubbish, that isn't part of this dispute though as far as i knew, i would imagine if the big earners are now the minority the way to go is for Bassa to offer BA something in exchange for a review ( longhaul / shorthaul integration maybe )?
Maybe you should ask for expenses to be incorperated?
So what is BA trying to change that you have written down as a union agreement?
