From "that other place:"
I'm told a number of members of the Leadership Team were against awarding the bonus to strikers but were overruled by KW who felt that as it wasn't a previously stated sanction it would be unfair to deny them it. I suppose he needs to be seen to be scrupulously fair.
How sad. KW is trying to placate strikers who seem intent on ruining BA, or at least furthering BASSA's intent of interfering in the running of the company.
KW should have excluded the strikers from one penny of bonus payment, let them bleat and moan, and probably make complete fools of themselves in the courts, yet again.
It is beyond time when BA management should say "enough, already!"
