Let's see...
- New "Final" agreement put forth by BA
- Unite asks for time to ballot membership - offers to call of strike while they do this
- BA, worried the agreement might actually be accepted (!), says screw you, offer is off the table now
It's been said in this thread by others, and it's so right. WW must have near shat himself when he realised the CC membership might just actually give the ok on the new agreement.
At least the BA
PR person being quoted by the Guardian now is being honest about things - stopping only just short from spelling out how "we see public support, we see media support, we see weakness and in-fighting between the different employee groups (perfect, that plan worked just swell Jerry!), we even see the cc workforce now split in opinion - WOW - we can also fly 60% of our passengers - heck we don't want an agreement now, we want this strike! Bring it, baby!!"
The union has offered to call of the strike, but WW has got the taste for a smack down, and he's chomping at the bit for a dirty fight. Well after all, this was the reason he was hired to the top job at the world's fave, right?
