For me the simple headline killer facts in this whole issue are: -
BASSA did not actually negotiate (source, court judgement on imposition)
BA therefore left with no alternative but to apply the cost savings in the face of never ending resolution.
No compulsory job losses, just VR which some crew have been awaiting a long time and switches to part time, which many crew have been moaning they couldn’t get in the past. No pay cut.
Small section of CC required to involve themselves in the service, as has been the case with union blessing in Gatwick for some time.
Strike therefore not justified for this issue.
The topping to all that would be false at worst and misleading information at best from BASSA to CC on far too many occasions, therefore clouding the actual issues at hand. (Known falsehoods allowed to fester and propagate on BASSA forum IS BASSA’s responsibility)
The above has now become a major international and political issue that is becoming less and less about cabin crew with an outcome that will affect them more and more.
Silly eh
