Earlier this year, the cabin crew offered to take a pay cut as part of comprehensive proposal aimed at retaining in-flight staffing levels and thus ensuring that customers would not lose out. The company dismissed these proposals out of hand, although Unite believes the proposals would have delivered the company tens of millions of pounds in savings year on year.
As usual, the failure to publish the facts as proven by an outside agency (PWC) that these savings (to be repaid after the recession) were not worth what Unite/BASSA portrayed, will see the ballot through!
Glam Girl, good luck in trying to convince your BASSA colleagues that what they follow is untenable.
As we have both found, if you question, with fact and reason, the BASSA line then either you are ridiculed or persuaded to 'stop discussing' your opinion.
Sad really, I would like to hear what BASSA has to offer.
