Tough times ahead for BA and all of its workforces.In times like these a strong union such as BASSA is invaluable.Be under no illusions,without strong representation the company would decimate the pay and conditions of it's employees,citing the current trading and economic conditions as the justification.When the marketplace improves,as it eventually will,conditions and pay will not increase accordingly.Lots of emotive points in each camp,pro and anti union.As an independent i strongly suggest that all BA cabin crew support each other and their union representatives and present a united and powerfull front against a management,hell bent on cutting their standard of living.Strength in numbers has never been more important,forget the in-fighting and show unity,it is the only way to protect yourselves.
