From this, it follows that even if BA sack the 2,000 or so strikers, the remaining BASSA members will still be in dispute.
Perhaps explains why WW has not summarily dismissed those who went on strike last time.
If 8,000 have not gone on strike then why did they not vote NO when balloted?
Resigning is pointless, far better to remain in and change things....vote in moderate stewards and vote against the strike.
I think somewhere along the line the figures have been distorted by both sides.......There cannot be more members working than striking surely?? If this was the case the only sensible option would be to call off the strikes...
I think both sides need to do a lot of growing up.....
