Hiflyer14 said- "LGW - what's the difference? You say New Fleet means we won't have a career - maybe, maybe not. BF has offered a monthly payment, which if NEGOTIATED (I know huge word) properly could save us from New Fleet. Don't YOU get that? What's the alternative - oh yes- Go on strike, get sacked, or see the company go under. Not much in the way of career prospects there either are there????
This is a Union in turmoil. Have they negotiated on our behalf? No. Have they managed to deflect New Fleet? No, despite knowing about it for the past 18 months. So now this defunct union is literally leading people to self-destruct. "
First point.The company do not want to NEGOTIATE.the union has tried to negotiate fotr the past 9 months.WW and BF have point blankly refused any sort of compromise.They only want it their way.This is why cabin crew have been forced into taking these drastic measures.
Second point.A Union in turmoil ?? Today was the first time in 20 years that both BASSA and CC89 stood shoulder to shoulder for its membership.Over 3000 membver were present at todays meeting.All were in agreement in were we stand.Hardly a Union in turmoil.More like a Union united.
I would like to know why you think is New Fleet would be a good career move for us ?
