BA CC industrial relations (current airline staff only)

The immediate future

I strongly believe in the right of employees to belong to an effective union/staff association. I also believe that members should display solidarity with the democratic decisions of that organisation, otherwise it will fail to protect its members' interests. For a union to deny its members the opportunity to vote on a proposal put by the employer (and thus deny them the chance to voice their genuine opinion) is an appalling betrayal.

In the interests of all the very fine crew who belong to BASSA and Amicus I hope they reject a strike, so their futures can be protected. They are more important than the militant few who would happily sacrifice the Airline.

The Airline will comfortably survive further IA. I doubt striking crew will.
