[QUOTE]Why should BASSA let this regime give away the DA agreement as this forms part of our terms and conditions after all the imposition that came into force back in november. We are not playing ball as the other team are not playing fair with dirty tricks coming back again and again wake up and smell the sewage coming from Waterworld./QUOTE]
Because the DISRUPTION AGREEMENT is to be used at times of DISRUPTION!
If this doesn't count what does?
If BASSA don't consider this appropriate use of an agreement then when will they?
If BA wants to continue to do as its customers want, take them safely and in a timely fashion to their destination and the CC union wants to stop that from happening what do you expect the management to do? Wait for a thaw?
Please remember who employs you and who pays for those wages. The airline is not run by ANY union if they cannot see that and wish to make this a tussle for power when every ounce of common sense shows that only one side will ever win then they may as well begin to sound their death knell.
All this type of intransigence does is hasten their demise. Is this considered 'working to rule'? Could this be considered encouragement to take unofficial strike action? In situations like this union reps tread on very thin ice.
