The agreement to implement the disruption agreement this week has angered the ‘Bassa mentalists’ as the imposition hearing did confirm that the DA is contractual - there are still those who wish to continue with the old 70’s style Unionism. Fortunately Lizanne and Duncan have both supported it’s implementation and I hope this bodes well for peace talks at ACAS this Monday.
Dingbaticus, a study of recent history will show this is not the case, as someone has pointed out BASSA have become an irrelevance. Do you not remember last January when the snow struck for the 2nd time? Within hours of BASSA trying to remind crew to work to their industrial agreement, they were served via courier a solicitors letter from BA which clearly said that any attempt to "encourage" crew to work to rule would be interpreted as "unofficial industrial action". This time around is no different hence BASSA have acquiesced rather than get egg on their face
