... and has no guarantees for our future.
No employee has a guarantee that extends beyond the period of their notice. If you are on a three month notice, then that is what you get - serving the time or money in lieu. If the company is bankrupt then you will get nothing.
ANY employee in the world can find themselves with no job. I do not like that, as I have been made redundant myself - at short notice - and seen it happen to others. But that is 21st century. Do I think that 'capitalism' [generic term] the best solution? Not necessarily but it is how the UK functions. Pretending that you can guarantee jobs 'into the future' is utter nonsense.
After all this, and saying that they WANT to settle the dispute - when BA want to go to ACAS:
We are gravely concerned that as a result of the press conference today, British Airways have conceded to meet with Unite next Monday under the auspices of ACAS.
Now they don't want to settle? They have no idea how silly they look.
