My sympathies mate. I dont visit the BASSA forum anymore as a result of the one sided rhetoric and 'bullying' that goes on there.
I wish the union that sadly I am still a member of, would provide honest answers and honest information.
The world economy is in the poo. The country is in the poo. The airline is in deep poo. Only BASSA refuses to release information to its members.
I agree with the questions you have, "Why does the BASSA noticeboard in T5 have clippings about Willie Walsh's payrise, but not anything about his refusal to accept it"?
Has BASSA had access to the companies figures? If they have, why wont they release the information to the members? Why wont they deal honestly with their members?
It will be a huge turnaround and a monumental change of tack, but surely BASSA needs to negotiate the change, not have it driven through under SOSR. Lets face it the allowances system depicted above is a bit if a joke nowadays. But then again, peraps BASSA is as well.
Its not a talent or popularity contest, this isnt Big Brother or Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here, this is events which are affecting real peoples lives.
Real people will lose jobs and homes.
