Glamgirl,
it is very frustrating this lack of talks between the two parties. Comments have been made a few days ago might shed some light for you.....
Your Union is more than happy to sit down anytime, anywhere to resolve the issues between us, in the end that is what will need to be done. British Airways, so they say, will do the same... but only about new fleet. That is NOT acceptable to any of us.
They will NOT agree to remove or talk about any of the items of imposition.
Keep talking?
If Bill Francis is so keen to talk, why does he never do so? Instead, he prefers to do all of his talking in front of the camera, or via ESS emails. In reality, we have not spoken or heard a word from Bill Francis since June 30th this year. If he is so keen to reach an agreement, why does he not try to do so? In the past, every head of cabin service, no matter how difficult the situation, has maintained an open communication with the union to explore ways of trying to resolve the issues. To repeat, we have not received a single solitary word or phone call from him for nearly six months.
