I thought that the fight at easyJet had been fought a couple of years ago when a strike was averted and Ts & Cs agreed.
easyJet are going to have to raise their game if they want to achieve the same standard of compliance from crews, with the attendant misery and resignation.
Fr have achieved great success by their 'divide and rule' tactics over the last few years, playing off Base against unprofitable Base, whilst pumping out the bollox that we are the best paid in Europe.
Now, we at FR are on the back foot, it has become easy for them to achieve a succession of pay cuts & freezes. Interestingly, even when we bent over and took it, and agreed cuts to pay etc in the 2009 deal, they still went ahead and had a freeze in the summer, which was the threat to make us compliant in this first place.
There will be no end to the erosion of Ts & Cs, and once agreed, deals can be broken and if you don't like it you can always sue them - Ho Ho
I hope easyJet don't go the appeasement path that we have chosen at FR.
