BASSA Supporter
NO Top Bunk the mandate will not weaken. You can second guess all you like, but you will have to wait.
On this thread BASSA and its 11,600+ members are being pilloried, yet only two years ago these 'militant' workers agreed to less retirement benefits, which in effect meant that most crew will have to work five years longer for the same pension....that is if Walsh does not close the final salary scheme to exisiting members as well. In 2007 BA gained a £400 million instant saving and have been making savings yearly of £80 million, yet the NAPS fund is still in trouble. Where have the savings from out move to T5 gone? How can a company haemorrhage so much money so quickly, unless the management are incompetent?
Now the company is in trouble again, but there have been so many management failures and criminal conduct. Gareth Kirkwood and David Noyes signed confidentiality agreements after their departure and are still on the pay roll allegedly.
Mr Walsh has demonstrated 'Klepto-FredtheShreddist-handinthetillistic' behaviour at Aer Lingus and now the same is happening at BA. There is no confidence in his leadership and quite honestly anyone else would be better.
Let's see in the next few weeks whether he can pull off his coup.
