As BA itself will no doubt also closely look at any comms, I wonder if they will openly challenge any that they feel are at all inappropriate, or simply sit-back and allow the unions to dig a(nother) ditch for themselves and their members?
The stipulation regarding union comms only appears to cover the point upto which ST is potentially returned. But what if the unions then revert to type?
This clause is not by anyway new.
It has been included in many 'settlements' with BASSA including after the 1997 debacle.
The problem is that BASSA (or the parent union) agree to this and then immediately ignore it.
They will never stop their child like, un-proffessional silly behaviour and the communications will revert to hate filled mud slinging and libelous content.
