WW's remit has been to break the unions in order to allow an across-the-board reduction in costs from every department. That might be in the shareholders' interests, but it's not in the interests of the employees.
That is one opinion. I tend to take the view that WW's remit is to make an across-the-board reduction in costs from every department, but BASSA, with its leadership of reps who think working the service is below them, and UNITE, who are nothing more than combative 70s socialists, are opposing this much needed cost-cutting for their own ends, certainly not to the benefit of their membership.
Contrary to your view, survival of the company in a crisis is very much in the interests of the employees, as evidenced by the large number volunteering to stop these kamikaze union dinosaurs from sabotaging BA.
Please remind yourself of what BA asked of the union at the start of this dispute, which was a little extra work by the cabin crew in return for a guarantee of protection of their T & C's.
BASSA and UNITE's aggression, intransigence and selfishness have cost the company a fortune, and WW is entitled, on behalf of all the other stakeholders, employees and shareholders alike, to neuter them.
The sooner, the better, for the sake of all BA employees.
