From 'THE LATEST NEWS UPDATES'

Furthermore we are not prepared to accept any offer to settle this dispute on the basis that British Airways ONLY agree to the "four no cost items". The current agreement in any guise is unacceptable to us and we believe to the community as a whole.
Why, you might ask? Because it is built on quick sand and has no guarantees for our future. The offer does not adequately deal with the reasons why the dispute arose in the first place. To add insult to injury, it also seeks to restrict and deprive you of your statutory rights to litigation against an increasingly unreasonable employer.
We do however believe that the four items form a good basis for discussions to commence with the involvement of the reps and will clear the decks of all the diversionary nonsense that British Airways has chosen to introduce into the dispute.
What do we want?
Everything!!
When do we want it?
Now!!
What do we offer them?
Nothing!!
What inspiring words - don't they make your heart beat a little faster?

And they're back to feckin' GUARANTEES again!

Where do I sign up to write the book of this dispute? Do you think I ought to wait until it ends before I get started? Better not - I am sixty-three after all.
