Mr Nash has eloquently hit the nail on the head. Long Haul and Short Haul are not the same company...yet. Long Haul didn't have an EBA to bitch about until recently.
VA doesn't control the
VB EBA process any more than
VB controls the VA EBA. When the short haul negotiations come around go your hardest to make the VA EBA look like the worst document in the history of industrial relations. Get a better deal than VA and we'll all win in the long run.
Better still why not negotiate a group approach to the whole issue and then we really will be one big happy family.
