Henky - the management, in my opinion should have approached the Union and said something like this - " We are totally screwed at the moment, we need all of your help to ensure we survive what is going on in the world - this isn't like the normal bull**** we feed you when we try to screw you. This time we really are
!!"
"What we are proposing is that we do THIS, THIS and THIS - we will try to mitigate any losses you may make - and when we return to the good times we will build in a (process/method/system) that allows all of you (the workers) to share in that. That way we are all working together for the common good."
Instead BA management came along and said - we are doing this - like it or lump it
