Thanks for the link im1234.

This dispute at BA is a clearly defined attack on trade unionism, which if it succeeds, could cause a meltdown amongst unions not just in the UK, but Europe as well. No one is in any doubt that employees will be targeted by Walsh at Iberia once he gets control of IAG.

The amazing thing is that supposedly intelligent people, many of whom write on this forum, think they will be immune from this onslaught in the future. They are sadly deluded and misguided even by their own association, who now seeks "mutuality agreements" to protect itself and its members. Look what has happened in the USA to pilot pay. You can't have it both ways lads...shafting your cabin crew colleagues and protecting your own interests. If BASSA/UNITE fail, the domino effect will sweep BALPA out of the way as well, as sure as night follows day
