I agree with you.
The offers are getting worse.It would have been nice if we could have voted on the original offer.
I feel that I have no control over my work life.Bassa are speaking for us and doing a very poor job at getting a good deal.
If I wanted to be cynical i would say that this was all a game by WW.
He knew that whatever deal he offered, Bassa would reject it.He was able to confidently say no new fleet knowing that Bassa would still say no and not show it to their members.
The deals now on the table are probably what he originally set out to achieve.Bassa has done the deal for him, and Bassa has hastened the arrival of new fleet by demanding crew back.You really couldn't make it up.
Most unions negotiate and the deals get better .Not us.
I am really worried how this will all end.
