You say that an awful lot of people in BA are fed up with the BASSA militant die-hards. Did you ever stop to think that we are possibly fed up with other people interfering our dispute?
Curious to know how you would react MissM, if the situation was reversed.
Lets suppose that you are a member of staff that, throughout the past five years, had adapted to change of working practise, witnessed job outsourcing, job cuts, increased workload etc etc, as indeed all your colleagues have witnessed.
Then you are mindful of a significant sized department that says 'no, no, no', refuses to negotiate, are also unreasonable in other areas, threaten strike action (again) and jeopordize the very company you work for and all that comes with job security/insecurity in an era of recession and global downturn.
Can you at least see a crumb of understanding as to why many are fed up with the 'BASSA militant die-hards'?
