PC 767,

I can understand the concern that BASSA may have and agree if accusations have been made then the electronic trail is going to be pretty simple to follow for the people with the right knowledge.

The one part that I see little problem with is that Cabin Crew, if they are no longer members of the union are being contacted by BA and being offered different or amended contracts.

The collective bargaining/negotiating power of BASSA is completely undermined and so if individuals can personally improve their lot then why not?

Opening a can of worms...absolutely. What BA would ideally want? Not a chance...individually negotiated terms for 35,000 staff would be a logistical nightmare. However given the current circumstances it seems to be a very good way of building a staff group able to quickly move into new positions IF BA decide to press this nuclear button we so often hear about when/if BASSA/UNITE call further strike dates!!!

Time will tell...

Jazzy
