Midman - the fact is it's about power for both BASSA and BA
Let's face it BA have been wanting to crack the trades union for years - even when CC89 was formed they viewed that as a positive which probably did not pan put exactly the way BA would have liked
I agree that it is a power battle - however there has to be a common ground found - the majority of CC do not want to go on strike, no matter what you hear, however they see that they now have no option as the company has already imposed it's changes and they see strike action as their only way of battling back
