A Lurker,
Wobble - a mis-information campaign by BASSA and UNITE - and you don't think that BA have also played some games with their selective distribution of information?
A fair accusation but could you then show us some evidence of deceit by BA where they haven't placed all of the information in the public domain? Where BA haven't attempted all avenues of negotiation? Where BA haven't given the opportunity for Unions to access sensitive financial data?
Why didn't BASSA look at the figures that BA were willing, with a confidentiality agreement, to show them?
Why did BASSA continue to pursue 'temporary' measures when BA showed the evidence that permanent change was required?
Why have BASSA emphatically denied that members can be sacked for striking when, in fact, they can be sacked albeit with the cushion of tribunal behind them?
Why do BASSA continue to claim that they have 'won' their injunction case when the following court case is standard procedure?
Why have BASSA not produced a full, financial breakdown, independently verified, of the cost savings they are so proud of that BA rejected?
Why do BASSA feel that they can 'run' the business better than BA by dictating how many crew should be on specific aircraft?
Why do BASSA accuse all other full service airlines of putting their passengers at risk by running aircraft at lower crewing levels than BA if, by running those crewing levels we are putting passengers health and safety at risk?
Why do BASSA continue to claim that crewing levels are specific, contractual measures?
Why do BASSA seem to think that their department is so worthy of note that they can be the only ones within a large, multi tiered organisation, who haven't grasped both the nettle and the truth and understood that change is necessary?
Why do BASSA blindly announce that public opinion is behind them when, in all honesty, it is not and the traveling public just see another senseless disruption caused by a Union that is woefully out of touch with the realities of the day?
Still think it is all even in the mis-information game? I can trawl back through ESS and find all of the BA information that is open and pertinent. Sadly the same can't be said of Unite/BASSA where it is all in-fighting and bitchiness.
