Ancient Observer,
There is a way forward.
BASSA could send out letters to their members listing the changes proposed by BA. The members would then be required to tick Yes or No to what's acceptable to them.
Just like the strike Ballot, everything would be counted and the least favourable changes then presented to BA with a view to discussion and negotiating a reasonable workable solution on both sides to move forward.
However it's up to the members to suggest this if anyone here dares to. Miss M, romans44, watersidewonker and Fume Event, please be my guests.
I resigned from Amicus/BASSA, UNITE and am unable to suggest this to them. I will however, ask some of my colleagues to propose this idea as a way forward. There has to be a solution otherwise we're all doomed, all of us.
I'm BA Cabin Crew and the above represent my views and not those of my employer's.
