Joining Date - Aug2010
No one thinks for a moment here, that perhaps it is Walsh who has the personal vendetta? Surely an appraisal of his performanceso far, could also be described as "militant". His actions have all the hallmarks of union busting.
I can understand that there are a lot of people here who must be disappointed that BASSA have not rushed into a third ballot as quickly as they would like.
If intelligence is being questioned, then you must ask why Walsh allowed 800 cabin crew to take severance just before the first ballot. Not a very 'intelligent' thing to do in hindsight. To seek an injunction over the notification, or lack of it, of 11 spoiled ballot papers, was also not very intelligent when on appeal BA lost. In fact the whole position of BA seeking injunctions is questionable, as it has not solved anything, but simply run the disopute on for longer than necessary. Hiding behind High Court judges is perhaps not the most intelligent thing to do
Duncan Holley has said many times that the action to defeat imposition would be a "marathon". You would need to be a patient.
Here they come again!
800 cabin crew on high wages and pension commitments - not that poor a move.
