Can't trust either side

WW wants to break the union. The union has lost its negotiating position. Both parties are purveyors of untruths which will result in continued hassle for passengers.

Unite had the upper hand with a threat of a strike but now only have the economic impact as a bargainaing chip and , according to WW only 7% of customers will not be able to travel. Significant numbers of pax but nt enough to bring BA to it's knees.

Until staff are willing to take a stance Unite are going nowhere. BA will continue to bumble along. One wonders if there isn't scope to break off the non unionised part, with WW at the helm, leaving the rest for those who won't accept the revised terms?
