Dismissals
Diplome and snas are correct about dismissals. Like snas, I've held that sort of accountability. As an individual, I don't "enjoy" firing folk, but when you've got to, you just do it. ( it is commonly known as jfdi). BA appear far more tolerant of bad behaviour than other private sector Co.s. They should have behaved this way years ago - for example when dealing (or not in BA's case) with BA CC absence levels.
TU co-operation.
Unite and its constituent parts are perfectly capable of co-operating with employers. Go ask the majors in the Pharms sector, who have "lost" thousands of jobs represented by Unite in the last 3 years. Yup, thousands. All with complete TU co-operation.
The next strike - if there is one.
I have a vested interest here - I'm flying l/h with BA in late September. Would the strikers please ensure that they are on strike in late September? I have no desire to be on the same plane as the bassamentalists. Thank you.
