I think that the reinstatement of ST is so important to Bassa because it would upset those who did not strike and that way Bassa would get back at the strike breakers.

All the more reason for WW to keep his back straight and not push away those people who helped him.

Respect to MissM for being willing to enter into the debate. I disagree with her but respect her position.

One thing though... Miss M, you keep saying that things can change through negotiations not impositions yet for more than 6 months the union failed to negotiate over the needed cuts and when they finally put forward proposals these were (PWC comments) far insufficient. Why is it wrong for WW to then impose the cuts, given the urgency of the needed cutbacks?

Or should the union not only represent staff but also be the one managing the business and decide the cut levels? Id the latter is what you think, then you are wrong.

Let management manage...
