I was banned for a personal attack...apologies to all
Did anybody else pick up on Tony Woodley's piece to the media today.
He maintains that the latest offer is a good one but he cannot recommend it because it does not address the issue of staff travel and disciplinary action taken against members.
My view is that Tony Woodley has now concluded that this matter has run it's course but BASSA have yet to be persuaded as staff travel rights and disciplinary action against members are conditions of any settlement.
Mr Walsh is going to offer the new terms to non-union members on a personal basis, this is a 90 day notice of change of contract wrapped up in nice paper and the majority will surely accept.
Whilst this is being processed, a substantial number of BASSA members will be clambering to sign up to the new agreement and will certainly be looking to BASSA to allow them to have the opportunity.
If BASSA refuse to ballot it's members then there will be an outcry from the still moderate majority element within BASSA who are not in the 2500+ striker group.
Mr Walsh can sent the same 90 day notice to BASSA members and sit back and wait for the signed acceptances to come flooding in.
Mr Duncan Holley, although you are no longer a BA employee, you have a problem.
