If people get squeamish over using military analogies, then people please wake up! Mr Walsh has been waging a ruthless “Anti Union War” for the past two years, its hard not to draw comparisons, Nicky Marcus Worldwide rep was suspended last night over an incident that arose from a disciplinary she is doing for a member - we are literally in a “battle” for our working lives.
Mr Walsh wants one glorious big battle that he wins and to the victor goes the spoils of war, we instead need to keep fighting but differently over a longer period, hence the Vietnam analogy.
Its not so much the use of military analogies, its that these people feel it is justified. It isn't. BASSA's stupid battle bought forth Iwo Jima flag raising as their symbol. That was and insult, and still is. Now they mention Vietnam, that is an insult. None of you are worthy to mention those names in the same breath for your headlong charge to the edge of Beachy Head.
In the real world poor leadership has plunged BASSA in the abyss where several unions already lay.
And to use the same 'battle' terminology for BA's determination in saving a brilliant airline, BASSA is hell bent on destroying, is also very very stupid. Bad leadership and Marcus gets what she and they deserve like the rest of the BASSA's inept leadership. Better you get one thing abundantly clear. You tried your damndest to wreck BA - and the cc lives - you failed in the former but succeeded in the latter. Does that make you feel proud?
