Sadly the only language Mr Walsh is willing to listen is the language of the ballot..I was in the high court yesterday and with in minutes from the judge decision, BA walked out of the talks.
Good. Why waste time talking to these people, they are not interested in looking after you, they want their strike! Len McLuskey crowed about how many strikes he'd been involved in. bet he didn't say how many people are unemployed because of overpaid union leeches like himself. Bet he didn't tell you how he's looking forward to getting the Gen. Sec. job and a massive pay rise and benefits. (Did UNITE tell you they awarded themselves some nice pay rises this year?).
Why would the High Court not put a stop to BA imposition, when even the BA lawyers aggreed <sic> that there were irregularities with the imposition?
I have no idea. It doesn't make sense. You tell us. Where did you hear this? From BASSA? The judge's ruling was that BASSA did not have enough evidence to justify an emergency injunction. It gave BASSA the opportunity to argue its case in court on Feb 1st. BA were defending themselves against an injunction, I don't remember their lawyers saying "we haven't got a very good argument your honour, but give us the win anyway". Any evidence of your claim here?
In answer to your question, the imposition can easly be removed with an agreement, and it wouldn't have to happen overnight.
Do you know, Romans, you typify everything that is bad about this crappy union of yours. You sit there, reading your little pamphlets and whooping at your leaders urgings "UNITED WE STAND" whoo whoo whoo.
You swallow every single line of crap they come up with, and then, like the good little sheep you are, regurgitate it elsewhere. Your Union has CONSISTENTLY refused to negotiate while the company is losing 50 million pounds a month, and then wonders why it had to take action.
Do as people have asked you. Start from the beginning of this thread and read carefully, so that you have some of the facts before you start making yourself look silly.
Imposition was a last resort by the company, because your squalid little bunch of idiots that run BASSA had tried to fob the company off with a package of savings worth less than a third of what it was supposed to be, and well short of the savings needed to STOP THE AIRLINE LOSING MONEY.
More to the point, it put its fingers in its ears over the state of the airline industry, saying "it's only temporary, it's only temporary". Well in that time, airlines have PERMANENTLY gone out of business.
Do you not read the newspapers? Did you not hear about FlyGlobeSpan?
Or are you just too brainwashed to actually put two and two together and realise this is not a fight you should be having with your employer, but a fight you and your colleagues should be having to save the company?
For the love of God, please read this thread from the beginning, without any preconceived notions. You will receive a plethora of information that your union would rather you not see, especially concerning their own disgraceful behaviour which threatens YOUR job.
When you've done that, we will be more than willing to hear your comments and questions.
Is that too much to ask?
