I totally disagree that those who chose to strike should lose their Staff Travel either permanently or in any way with less seniority - why should people be punished for taking part in a lawful dispute, in part brought on by BA?
Lets be totally up front here - this has been a calculated dispute on the part of British Airways and has been months if not years in the planning.
When the latest round of CM's where recruited - they where told that there would be a bitter dispute coming up and that they had be "strong" enough to take on the role.
BA have helped to manufacture this dispute - £150m in costs is a drop in the ocean when you consider what they make by pushing through MF - we all know that.
Incredulous!
Nothing to do with the intransigence of BASSA, and maybe, just maybe a CEO who for once, decides to stand up to them in an economic downturn, with the backing of the MAJORITY of staff to keep us solvent???? The staff, who too have 'had enough', more so after accepting many changes prior to the downtown to their working practises!
