I am wondering what is the point of Unite negotiating without representatives of the CC unions? They may be experienced negotiators but they presumably know diddly squat about CC agreements and aspirations. If they press on regardless, how can they have any idea that what they are negotiating will be acceptable to the 8000 crew who pay for their representation? Although I have not been a paid up BASSA member since 1997 I still don't like the idea that all 13500 of us could end up with whatever deal Tony and Derek come up with, whether we like it or not! Scary!
I know it's only because the other two forums are indisposed but it is really great to see new CC joining PPrune from both sides of the debate. It's good to hear your thoughts whichever side of the fence you sit on and Miss M can certainly use the support.
