Hello MissM
You say "I think all of us were expecting serious negotiations and hopefully a settled agreement."
I'm not quite sure what you mean by this. Am I right in saying at one of the racecourse meetings last year, the rank and file CC voted overwhelmingly for a motion specifically barring the Union from negotiating with BA over the planned changes. Having taking strike action and inflicted some damage on your employer, you now expect serious negotiations to resume. Why? Has the Union proposed a motion to countermand the original rank and file requirement? Or is it just planning to take action without its membership's democratic consent?
Another thing troubling me is, if you don't trust your employer, why are you still working (except when on strike) for the company? Surely it would be in your interest to find a more agreeable occupation with management you do trust.
