Do they understand HOW to negotiate?
Is my question.
I may be naive, but i would have imagined that in order to fulfil their (Unite/Bassa) mandate to negotiate, the reps would actually have to be in the same room as the people they need to negotiate with?!
My very very good source, tells me that thus far their "intensive negotiation" involves pitching up (at some point during the day), spending 1/2 hour max in the same room as the BA reps, then disappearing off by themselves for the rest of the day. As yet, no negotiating session has gone past 5pm.
How convienent! I'm glad no stone is being unturned in their quest to secure the best deal for their poor unfortunate members...
