You said previously that you believe that "imposition was a deliberate attempt to undermine my Union's right to collectively bargain for us (members)"

Quite an accusation, which conveniently ignores the fact that BA made it clear to all groups of staff in the spring of last year that failure to negotiate a deal to achieve the required departmental savings would result in imposition of changes to conditions for that department. BASSA knew that at the time, but did they communicate it to you? BALPA told it's members. I suspect that the answer is that BASSA did not tell it's members, and as we all know it then failed to reach agreement (or even negotiate!!!) by the deadline of 30/6/09, and subsequently issued a strike ballot over the issue of imposition.

My finger is still firmly pointing in the direction of BASSA.
