Too often during this prolonged slow train crash people have thought of the situation from an individual perspective, which on the whole would seem fair enough.
The BASSA reps, and the members who have supported and allowed them to stay in post have all failed to view it from the viewpoint of the company, it is a business after all.
To say that you can SOSR the contracts, remove the restrictive practices but keep the salary the same is because you are viewing it from a personal perspective.
Try thinking from a management perspective.........if you SOSR'd the contracts.......would you keep the salaries the same, or would you use the opportunity to permanently introduce a LGW cost base, and LGW flexible working?
