Having seen Willie Walsh and Len whatsisname slug it out on C4 news this evening, I think the situation can be summed up as follows:
- The union are upset about the fact that they weren't consulted about the imposed changes to LHR CC's T&Cs.
- Err that's it.
LGW has already had these T&Cs (identical to what's in the post for LHR as I understand it) for some years already. But apparently that's ok because BASSA negotiated that deal for them. So what it boils down to is that the deal is being imposed rather than negotiated. Well whoop-de-doo Basil... get over yourselves.
