Offer looks extremely fair to me. Return of ST with immediate effect and seniority returned in two years strikes me as very reasonable, considering WW could have stuck to his guns and said no return of seniority. Of course it all now hangs on how many Miss M's there are as to whether the offer will get bounced. But it does put the BASSA leadership in a cleft stick. To campaign against the offer is sticking two fingers up at Tony Woodley. It is also kicking into touch any suggestion of sacked staff getting reinstated, although DH is not getting his job back anyway. Add on that BASSA would still need Unite's approval for a strike ballot. Now if they hack off Unite, the union is not likely to provide support for further industrial action. So very much the endgame.
On the positive side. This will provide BASSA with the opportunity to get back to providing the support that crew need. It will allow the branch to gain a fresh injection of talent in terms of reps, branch secretary etc. which hopefully will lead to more productive working with management. BA manageent will have learned a lot from this episode and hopefully will also be receptive to a changed BASSA team.
