Bassa are either being increasingly sidelined and kept in the dark by Unite about any ongoing negotiations or somebody at Bassa is lying.
From a recent posting on the Bassa forum from one of reps -
'People keep asking why they are not receiving updates on any ongoing “talks” - quite simply, this is because there are none!
At this moment in time, there are NO talks taking place to update you on'.
Yet in the last press release from Unite they state -
Talks between the union and BA managers are expected to be held next week, but Unite officials warned that a fresh ballot for strikes could be held if there is no progress soon. Unite claimed that BA last week rejected a compromise offer aimed at resolving the row over the removal of travel concessions for cabin crew who have been on strike.
Which backs up an email Bill Francis sent out a few days back stating that BA and Unite have been in talks for 2 weeks.
So what's going on - who's fooling who?
