Oh FFS!

IheartMBT you ask

Imposition is the start of a very dangerous path
And then try to make a case for going on strike over where it MAY lead. What is being imposed on you is entirely the fault of your utterly inept union, and is SO benign that the multitudes of unemployed ex VS and BMI cc will be slack jawed at your assertion that somehow you are hard done by.

Can you not see the writing on the wall? UNITE are a proper union for real grown ups, and many of those grown ups are losing their jobs, their homes and their families. They are where UNITE really want to focus their energies. They are not really that worried about a bunch of overpaid primadonnas having a hissy fit about working a TINY bit harder for the same money. That, at least, is how I suspect a Corus worker will see the position of BA cc.

UNITE want to come to an agreement with BA before the court hearing that will save face all round, but BASSA want to force UNITE's hand by holding a ballot that will compel them to back an utterly unwinnable strike. Ultimately this will lead to the obliteration of BASSA and will leave UNITE with egg on it's face. A price, I suspect, that UNITE are prepared to pay to get rid of the thorn in their side that is BASSA.

Some future you have voted for.
