Management has taken a very harsh stand on cabin crew.
My impression is quite the opposite.
BASSA and Cabin Crew have received repeated offers from BA. Absolutely none has been delivered to the membership for a vote.
BA has given clear notice of each and every action they have taken and have followed through.
For BASSA and Cabin Crew to insist that, as part of any settlement, disciplinary procedures be cleared is unusual and unsafe in the extreme. The rules and procedures are in place for a reason..the health and safety of both BA employees and their passengers.
IA is not something that should be entered into lightly, it is not a game, it is serious business with potential for gain or loss by both sides. BASSA and its more militant members act as if they should be able to say "Oh never mind, let's pretend it didn't happen" because they are on the losing side of this episode. It doesn't work that way.
Why so many striking cabin crew have such a hard time understanding there are consequences to their actions simply has me stunned.
