I would have agreed to the crew reductions as part of the cost saving measures. The problem is BA imposed it. Imposition cannot work.
This is quite hard to comprehend. Your union failed to represent you and negotiate this measure - for a period of 9 months - and BA were therefore compelled to impose it, because their liquidity depended on it.
And the problem is not Union intransigence, but BA's imposition?
As for your question about whatever BASSA reps achieve would apply to them to, perhaps you answered your own question as to why they would not negotiate crew reductions when you said:
a csd who prob hasnt seen a trolley in the last 30 years.
And then inadvertently followed it with:
As they say its not rocket science!!!!
Q.E.D.
It is so disheartening to hear that you object to imposition, but you don't object to the self-serving BASSA reps that put you
and BA in that position.
I almost get the impression that BASSA members see their leaders as their own kind, fighting the big nasty corporate enemy.
But sadly this is not Erin Brockovich. It is much more "I'm alright, Jack".
