Does the concept of a union not resisting unpopular, though maybe necessary change, for the benefit and protection of its members, providing no opposition to an unrepentant management, and allowing roughshot imposition of changes not set a dangerous precedent.
To my mind both Walsh and BASSA have dragged us into this mess in equal measure, but of the potential for precedents to be established I believe independent conclusion of disciplinary action to be the better of unchallenged and detrimental changes to contracts.
It is through both sides failing to compromise that we arrive where we are, it will take compromise to return to normality. That has to be the only fair solution.
