wiggy - Dawdler - LD12986 - et. al.
I don't suppose that anyone of you or anyone else you may know is in a position to whip-up and circulate a brief letter for signature by the (13500 - 5811) of BA CC who didn't vote to strike plus all the ~2000 VCCs and any one else caused significant hardship by BASSA's behaviour in all other BA departments within the next 28 days?
The letter should be presented to KW as he conducts negotiations basically pointing out how pi**sed-off you all are at BASSA's behaviour and that any settlement leaving the remote chance of BASSA claiming a victory would be met with a lasting ill-feeling, or even a potential back-lash, from the rest of his company.
There is an almost palpable ground-swell of feeling against the militant BASSA members that a mass letter of this nature to KW would help them all feel they had a chance to have some say in the matter.
At the least KW will receive a very strong message and may even be able to stipulate language either for BASSA to issue a public apology for its demeaning behaviour or even to gag BASSA from crowing to anyone about the settlement otherwise they will be in breach of the settlement agreement.
At the most he might just pay attention and let BASSA/Unite go ahead and meet their strike mandate deadline and have to make that strike call. After all, who is more important to him the 5811 renegades or the 40,000 loyal staff?
BASSA would certainly be given a message at just how upset the entire BA workforce has become at their behaviour which might help to sow a few seeds of doubt in their minds leading them to realise they were totally out of line - but then again I'm thinking rationally!
