Am I alone in my incredulity at the Unions position.
The reason for the strike is given as BA's imposition of new complements. A High Court Judge decided that the reason BA imposed was the Union's refusal to entertain any form of negotiation whatsoever, indeed he drew special attention to the fact that CC89/BASSA would not even share a room.
He also decided that BA's economic position made the impositions both reasonable and legal.
So the Union is calling a strike over something that is A) their fault and B) entirely reasonable in the eyes of the law.
Punishing BA for the Union's own inadequacies. Kafka (and/or Spike Milligan) would be delighted.
