If there is to be a reform of T&C's, it cannot happen in one go.
Are you sure?
WW is happy with the offer to CC as it meets his needs.
He must be rubbing his hands with glee that if the CC go on strike he can force the situation and at the end of the day he gets an even better deal (ie make 2000 redundant and bring in mixed EF/WW crews).
Of course BASSA could try and salvage the situation, a U turn, save some face, negotiate the best possible deal, knowing that it won't be the one they are after but will ensure that most of their members will have jobs.
As it stands BASSA do not want to do this. It is all about brinkmanship but this time BASSA are only holding a hand of 2s while WW has all the aces.
Will commonsense prevail? I won't volunteer to hold my breath. I just feel sorry for those of you in BASSA that will realise some time after the event that it was all to do with union politics and ego trips.
We had the same thing in engineering in 1977. Since then my union, UNITE (then the AUEW), is treated with derision by engineers in BA. BASSA is going the same way, albeit 30 odd years down the line!
