Round 2 to BASSA
BASSA gets reasonable support for strike action and calls a 12 day strike, which I have to admit I didn't see coming (2 or 3 days maybe) - I guess if your going to lead lemmings over a cliff it might as well be a very HIGH cliff!!
Round 2 definitely not to BASSA. A 12 day strike threat means that BASSA/Unite
desperately want BA to sit down and talk to them now, despite the union having refused all sensible approaches for the past nine months.
IMHO, WW will make them go through with it. The crew will not walk out in significant numbers as losing a third of their pay will concentrate a lot of minds and BASSA will be put out of our misery. Not before time.
