What I like is that the hard core written/political element of the BASSA militancy seems to stem from the SWP.
Has no-one pointed out to the SWP that the major reason we are in the current mess was gross mis management and poor handling of the economy by the socialist party?
What makes them think that another 4/8/12 years of social mobility management, excessive equality, diversity and PC tinkering is going to lead Britain into a panacea of Socialist heaven.
The only ones who benefitted from the excesses of the Labour Government were the champagne socialists who ran it. Doesn't seem to follow the Marxist way does it?
So, stop the SWP 'rent-a-crowd' rhetoric and fight the reasoned BASSA arguments based on the terms of the dispute. BA will NEVER re-employ DH. 2 independent industrial tribunals have upheld his dismissal. BA could never re-instate in full the BASSA agreements, ALL other departments within BA would oppose it as, I'm afraid, BASSA just aren't that important.
Nice April Fools though, gave me a chuckle!
