BASSA is not flawless. BA is not flawless either. BA wants to get back its control of the airline which BASSA has had for decades...It's understandable they are fighting against it, isn't it?
What, are you serious? BA is a company - BASSA are a union.
BASSA has no right of 'control' of the company.
BASSA is there to protect it's members in the best way it can. That means negotiation; it certainly does not mean running BA to insolvency.
BASSA is not there to tell BA how it should run the company.
It is not there to have control of part of BA.
That is not the remit of
any union.
You need to get real and understand what part a union has to play. It seems like you have swallowed BASSA leadership's rhetoric hook, line and sinker.
Every other department has agreed to changes in their agreements. Congratulations. They are now blaiming us for being perverse for not wanting to come to an agreement.
How about coming in touch with reality?
How do you think it feels when WW is constantly repeating how much we cost and comparing us to Virgin Atlantic? He makes us feel nothing as a burden to the company.
I notice you don't deny it though... maybe he is trying to get you to realise that you are still going to be better off than others, even if you do deign to help your company out.
Why am I prepared to bring the company down? If you look at what WW and BF want to do in a long term perspective to cabin crew.
So what he is proposing is worse than having no job?
He said he would be willing to discuss this with UNITE. Why would he not go ahead with something which he has has planned for years? That's suspicious.
Another small minded conspiracy theory... BASSA are very good at convincing people.
