KitKat....

I heard that in 1997 too, in my opinion the job will only go if the company goes.
....which will happen sooner rather than later if CC unions keep refusing to accept the need for change and defending that blinkered and ill-informed assertion with financially devastating strike threats/action

I am sure there will be a majority yes vote, if there is it will give the union a stronger hand in negotiating.
Negoti-whatnow?! Let me just look that up....What makes you think BA WANT to negotiate? Would you if you were in their unquestionably powerful position?

Hopefully the union will use that expected strength towards some serious negotiations at last instead of striking.
This made me chuckle!

For my 2p worth, I do not think the union will risk striking-too much to lose.
....and Willy has known that for some time- everything that BASSA have done, or more importantly and honestly, NOT done, has been woefully predictable by everyone, not just BAs top managers and lawyers
