how this great company with a future, is being flushed down the toilet by that aged old disease
BA is indeed being flushed down the toilet by a disease!
What that disease is, is purely a matter of opinion.
Some may say that certain departments are the last bastion of restrictive Trade Union practices!
Which is indeed an age old disease!
For example a long haul disruption 'agreement' that mandates a diverted cabin crew to enjoy
TWO full nights off before continuing to base!. Even though 12 hours would be the legal minimum! The union recently
INSISTED there be NO alleviation. I'm sure your customers, for whom you claim to care, were well impressed!
How can this possibly be defended?
Anybody voting 'yes' in this ballot MUST be absolutely certain that they are prepared to be the very first in line to be sacked, because an overall yes vote
WILL Lead to industrial Action. BA have their backs to the wall. They will not survive without change! A simple ballot result will NOT be sufficient to make BA 'think again'!
A yes vote, followed by a collapse of resolve on day one of IA would do FAR more damage to BASSA than people simply being honest and voting NO!
A mass 'sick out' would be an even worse result, and would leave those individuals guilty of the new charge of pattern sickness, and TOTALLY outside of any protection in law.
Each and every one of the BASSA members have a very important personal decision to make. Are you prepared to lose everything? Because for some of you, that is undoubtedly what a yes result will achieve.
And for what?
