Because Unite are obviously NOT representing the views of GSS and check-in staff but rather that of the Bassa members. The fate of the ground staff, who Unite themselves described prior to June 30th as within an inch of agreement will now find themselves tied to the Cabin Crew who as we all know are no where near any sort of agreement.
BA even offered an extension to the June 30th deadline to ground staff as an agreement was that close to being made.

am i bothered Please explain to me how being tied to the cabin crew can be anything but disastrous for the ground staff who will now face the prospect of an imposed deal as opposed to an agreed deal.
