Why do the crew have to work to the imposed agreements in the meantime then .Surely if it was victory for BASSA then they would have continued to work to their current agreements at least until after the court hearing in February.
I feel sorry for a lot of the crew stuck in the middle of this with no REAL voice. Just look what happend in early 2007 when the strike was called off at the last minute they were lead up the garden path and made to look like complete fools.It was the same back then talking the talk but when it came to walking the walk well it was a diffrent story .
Interesting times ahead ! .It's the crew who are on the older contracts who should be worried more than anyone.There must be say 5000 old contract and say roughly 9000 crew are on diffrent contracts with less money as it is they have got a bad deal .
Divide and conquer the oldest trick in the book .Willy will make promotion offers to alot of the crew on the new contracts and lure them over to the new fleet.At the end of the day if it's more money on the table for them well they'll go .
