If the option to sign a new contract based on the way forward agreement or take redundancy does come up then that would be the perfect time to give staff travel back to the strikers. If we want the best for the customer then what we need is a happy workforce. If a striker is prepared to accept that there was no point in striking and commits to the future then maybe it would be best to wipe the slate clean. If people have been misled by BASSA and a new contract is what it takes to open their eyes then so be it. I'm sure there is no way that the hardliners will sign a new contract because it would go against their much championed principles ( one on the other forum was today proclaiming that they would rather be homeless than to back BA) therefore the customer will come off best in the end.
