Phil, I think you have shown by this paragraph alone that you have no great knowledge of the why's the wherefore's or the outcome. Bye, bye.
I don't get that one either? The BASSA leadership team are way past their elected tenure. Time to change and get the militants out.
Never happens though does it? And it will never happen in this case either
That is because the company do not wish to do so. For all of the black painting of the company by a certain member of BASSA who is no longer employed by BA (because he couldn't be bothered to turn up for the work he was contracted to do) they do not want to use such heavy tactics which would damage them into the future.
The truth of the matter is that there are no real protections, all you gain is the automatic right to an unfair dismissal hearing.
BA has been extremely patient in this matter.
