BA CC industrial relations (current airline staff only)

Thank you Right Engine.

It may have been a mistaken understanding but we had to go by what our managers were telling us. In light of the latest suspension, allegedly for collecting money for the sacked and suspended's kids for Christmas through Santascrew which I noted was talked about on here ,you can understand why no CSD in their right mind, striker or not was going to go against what our managers were telling us.

I did not intend to air dirty laundry in public as that might be considered bringing the Company into disrepute. Once another forumite brought the topic into the public domain, I felt I needed to defend myself and and it gave me the opportunity to set record straight. Writing vicious posts or getting into power struggles are not in my nature but wars, even cyber ones can cause people to step outside their usual comfort zone.

I would also like to thank pprune for letting me post. Along with many crew I have been dismissive of this forum and after a shaky start, where I was banned for being a troll and stomped back to the BASSA forum to whinge, I appreciate the opportunity to put my side of the story.

It is a story that Cabin Crew have felt unable to tell. We are gagged from talking to the press. Instead we have vented on our forums. Facebook and texting had resulted in suspensions and sackings and even our forums are risky places with writs allegedly being presented for names.

It is a story of spying trolls, I believe deliberately looking for evidence to present as bullying and harasssment. A cyber war out of the public domain where crew laughed, cried and wrote mad things, even addressing threads to the spies to release tension and keep spirits lifted.

I feel the lid is finally lifting on the story and to me pprune have played a part as firstly it has proved to me my posts were spied on.To me it has also legitemized pprunes piece of Real Estate in cyber space by allowing me to present a different view, whether you agree or not I feel listened to.

As for the deal Right Engine. I don't think after the latest suspension any of us would give up any legal rights of redress against the Compnay.

Duncan has presented Willie with a deal, could you persuade him to agree to it?

We can then hold a massive pool party in Waterside with lego bricks either side of the river to build a bridge of unity and get over it.

Perhaps not, socialising and having a bit of banter down route without fear of being suspended for bullying and harrassment would do most of us. This is all getting very sad. We all want our airline back.
