This is why there are a lot of people talking about "the thin end of the wedge" (ie if we let BA impose changes now, what will they do in the future? etc).
That was BASSA's spin on it, because most of the reps are CSDs and couldn't be arsed doing a little work for a change.
If it was that much of a "thin end of the wedge", why didn't they threaten a strike when it was "imposed" on Gatwick then?
ANS: BASSA REPS ONLY CARE ABOUT THEMSELVES.
Which is precisely why UNITE are trying to take control of negotiations out of the hands of these selfish, intransigent dinosaurs, and properly represent the membership as a whole.
They probably have a chance of success if they can keep McThickwit and "Bangkok Babes" Simpson out of it.
