Romans44,
Ok, say it isn't about money (although it is, as BA are trying to run a business...) - what is it really about?
It's about BASSA saying NO NO NO to anything BA have ever tried to negotiate. I believe it all started when BA gave all departments a cut-off date for negotiations. BASSA didn't like this, so it was all NO's from then on. The FACT is that BASSA would NOT negotiate. Full stop. Although BASSA are LYING to their members and the media saying it's the other way round, THAT is the dictatorship.
It's always been 'their way, or no way'. Unfortunately that has not and will not get them anywhere. I cannot wait for the value of this strike debacle to go onto their cost saving target...
Poor Willie Walsh trying to get through to you guys
