Meal Chucker,
This is what was stated in one of the ESS messages by Bill Francis. So, it probably is true. (BASSA didn't make it very clear so obviously alot of crew will be hacked off now, I know they should have read the message on ESS but hindsight is a wonderful thing!) Obviously the company may decide to pay basic outside the strike this week including on days off, but Bill did say otherwise. Doesn't mean they might still pay you regardless but who knows! So many rumours with regards to pay, rosters etc!
