Crunchy
If we're going to be put on new, permanent, contract with reduced T&C's which will result in a substantial pay cut forever, then so should the rest of the company employees (pro-rata).
This has been happening within the company for many years now. CC have been largely insulated from thanks to BASSA - unfortunately it's your time in the firing line.
I'm not saying it's right or fair but the rest of the company have been suffering for years - for example my old department had 40 engineers working rotating shift patterns 24hrs a day 365 days a year. They now have 25 engineers doing the same job that 40 guys did only five years ago.
Their contribution to the company's cost savings is 3 redundancies - they have NO union to protect them either reapply for your old job or leave are the only options available - this is fairly typical throughout the airline.
Everyone should be treated the same way. Isn't that fair?
Be careful what you wish for!
