and there are plenty of people swimming in the hold pool, chomping at the bit.
Not what I heard at Cranebank yesterday. In fact recruitment is going very badly indeed, with on some days up to 50% no shows, of the ones that turn up few are suitable, and even when they are, the candidates are leaving with no information with regard to pay and conditions.
BFs figure of about 500 may be the ballpark, BASSAs claim of 2000 is very wide of the mark.
If people leave the business through VR, the company are free to recruit, if however people are forced to leave through CR then it opens up a new set of legal questions, that I am not qualified to answer.
My take on the last few weeks is that BASSA must be seen to be doing the dance with BA.
Come to an agreement too early on in the negotiations and the members would not be impressed, drag it out, spew forth poison rhetoric, wind all and sundry up, then snatch an agreement at the last moment, which on the face of it does not seem to bad, given that all that was threatened by BA...................... oh and of course claim a victory, all the while the company is busy counting the £82 million saved
