So BASSA are attacking BALPA regarding volunteers to be Cabin Crew.
No surprise really, their usual target.
What they are not telling the CC is that the large majority of volunteers are ground staff who are themselves members of UNITE. That's right your union!
Volunteers are being told that they should expect to be employed as full time cabin crew for the duration of the dispute. This is expected to be a maximum of 12 weeks. (The maximum strike length allowed from one ballot).
That's right 12 WEEKS. Not days.
Are you (as crew) prepared financially and otherwise to be unpaid and on strike for 12 weeks? The company ARE prepared.
What will your contract look like at the end of that time?? Better than is offered now or worse? Really, what do you think?
BASSA would rather destroy the company that pays you than lose face now. Or destroy themselves, either way it will never be their fault of course.
