It is not sad.
eventually you will see that this fight is for the very survival of Trade Unionism not only in BA but maybe even the country, maybe even Europe.
The professor at Bedfont said this is the single most important dispute in the history of Trade Unionism, and it is.
It is akin to the fight for women's votes and other such historical landmarks.
Hmmm, appears to have swallowed the rhetoric pill hook, line, sinker, rod and angler.
I suppose when Red Len stands proud over the crashed rubble of the capitalist scum state that has funded his lively hood for the past few decades he will proudly invite Hugo Chavez in to oversee the distribution of the assets to the common people. Sadly as BASSA can't even organise a ballot without screwing it up and offering illegal, non impartial advice, I see more of a 'new Zimbabwe' than a shining Socialist Star.
This dispute purely shows how wrong the Union paymasters have got an event in respect to the public view of a well paid workforce not accepting acceptable change in the face of changes made by their peer workgroups.
BASSA will not 'win' this dispute, they lost it over a year ago. They are trying to salvage something but they will not be allowed, by those of us who have invested so much into this company, to return to the lavish status quo they have always enjoyed.
Enjoy you dream, we all need a hobby.
Oh, and by the way, you will generally find the 'flightdeck' bolted infront of the forward galley on most aircraft, it's heavy, filled with screens and buttons, I'm sure you know where it is. We don't call you 'Galley' or 'Bev Maker' (unless your name happens to be Beverley Maker is suppose) so please show us as a workgroup similar courtesy.
