Why
Clearly, this is the beginning of the end of BASSA and about time too; their style, bullying, total lack of business awareness and 70's rhetoric has no place in the modern workplace where the pace of change requires nimbleness and flexibility. This mess is entirely as a result of this, even the judge effectively said BASSA are responsible for imposition. Anyway, I was thinking about all the meetings BA has to hold with its CC TU's
NSP/WW Steering/EF Steering/Local Panel/Family Friendly/24hr/Manpower/Product consultative/Ops and Choice/Hotels/H&S L1,2,3/Special Circs/MOA/Part time etc
and there are more, these are just the 16 I can think of right now ! See why BA can never be nimble with this kind of structure..............
Why do BA continue to recognise CC89 now that they are effectively BASSA and have no voice of their own ? They have only 1500 members (Vs BASSA 11,500) and appear to have the same number of reps who have to take lots of time of work to attend all the above meetings (usually multiple reps from same union attend, that is if they feel like, and if their a BASSA rep, usually very late and texting all thru meeting) Why ?? Not only does it costs a fortune, but complicates decision making, particularly when BASSA/89 don't agree......
