PC767 - I'm pleasantly surprised that you were one of the No voters, but how do you acknowledge what those voters stood for when we both know that even they didn't know what they stood for? We all know the way it went was that BASSA said "Lets have a strike" and everyone else said "Great! Now what are we striking for?". Thats when BASSA created a great hotch potch of every imaginable grievance, from Pursers off the jumbo to CSDs off the Airbus to LGW breakfast allowances to re-opening of the MAN base via CSDs room upgrades and some part time stuff plus much much more. It was such a catch-all that everyone had something to gripe about and vote Yes for, but few had enough to actually go on strike for. That's why they printed the infantile "Diary of a crewmember" propaganda piece and thats why the support crumbled when people realised they might actually have to withdraw their labour. The whole thing was a hugely expensive piece of grandstanding, hobbled from the start by the fact that they'd put so many issues on the ballot paper when BA needed only to agree to one to invalidate the strike ballot and force BASSA to re-ballot. That, unfortunately, is the legacy of Maggies union reforms. It's small wonder that at the last minute the TGWU had to step in to arrange a face-saving solution. I hope your reps are prepared to take a more mature approach this time or it'll be the same old story again.
