Hi
Frognal, welcome aboard.
Surely fear of losing business to competitors is one of the pressures that a strike applies to the employer?
And BASSA has now discovered that the threat that worked so successfully for 30 years - now has zero effect. Since they have no other weapon in their armoury, they have no choice but to capitulate or just keep repeating the same thing. Either way, they lose.
I am not pleased by this but I am pleased that BA has managed to realise that the managers of the last 30 years were wrong. They, however, are happily retired on pensions and beyond active criticism.
