Zebedee - BASSA have given no statistical evidence of anything. Wouldn't that require a GCSE in maths?
So, let's take a look at their Senior Stewards (CSD) Protection Scheme - oops sorry BASSA Proposals.
Pay
Offered 2.61% pay cut (where have we heard that before?)
CSDs/Seniors can live with that so it's ok. Stuff the rest of us.
Productivity WW
Disruption Agreement - held autonomy on that, so no change there.
Back to Back - throw this one in because it will generate MORE allowances
Supervisory Reduction - Premium cabin purser introduced - presumably at a cost?
(Omitted CSDs actually working - phew got out of that then!)
Productivity SFG
Let them take the hit at LGW by losing a purser
Productivity EF
Send 767 to EF (WW hate it anyway and it'll be gone soon)
Single supervisor - doesn't benefit Pursers, but helps out poor CSDs who are struggling for work.
Productivity Cross Fleet
VR in seniority order - to help yes you guessed it
VR Max of 75 weeks - to benefit who? Oh yes Seniors
LTIP
Well we have no idea about how a share incentive scheme would work, but we'll throw this vague sentence in in the hope that we get a deal that will benefit...yes those seniors again.
There is no financial breakdown, and if we build in cost for B2B and Premium Pursers, I fail to see how it can get anywhere near the required amount.
However the one thing that BASSA can do is wind up the members - they have raised the call to arms on other forums and now they are flocking in their droves to post on ESS what a great proposal it is. Can they read? Do they not speak English? Can they not see the writing on the wall? What they should be asking is what's in it for Joe Main Crew member - answer zilch.
It is like something out of a movie about 3rd world dictators - except this is our living nightmare and our livelihoods depend on it.
Oh, and one finally point. Whatever happened to "Temporary solutions for Temporary Problems". What a waste of
stickers.
