Reality
The reality is on this that, despite the new offer being very generous in todays austerity and exceeding every reasonable box anyone would hope for, there will probably be a no vote. Its a superb offer but it will be rejected.............DH has no interest in any settlement, whatsoever - a settlement will mean a leadership election in BASSA in which he wont be eligible to stand. So, you can see BASSA's stance, lets keep the dispute going and I can continue as leader, raking off my percentage.....sod our members....and he influences 90% of BASSA members....
That is the sad reality.
CC, you have a great offer, accept it and be happy - Unite will soon lose interest in this, even red len, with the more important battles they have to fight soon, with many 1000's of public sector workers losing their jobs, dignity and livelyhood...............not their staff travel but their lives......how many of those poor fellows, facing the breadline, will be at the picket line drinking Pimms, eating cakes and arriving in their BMW M3 Convertibles, with Unite flags on...?
Red Len aint stupid.....
