Imposition
When called upon to justify the escalation in hostilities, BASSA usually fall back upon the following:
"We cannot allow the principle of IMPOSITION to stand, or who knows what BA will impose next?"
In the Judge's summing-up in February, when he ruled the impositions legal, he was quite clear that his ruling was heavily influenced by BA's woeful financial position, and the fact that the CC unions were at each others throats and effecively not negotiating at all.
Without those two factors it is very possible that he would have ruled the impositions illegal.
I do not believe that the foundation for these strikes, the principle of IMPOSITION, is a reasonable one.
