Of course this version causes conflict with your own version of events. This is understandable, because as any psychologist would point out, you have to justify why you and many of your colleagues behaved as they did
The problem we have are autistically infused views, a mental rejection of a view that does not appear to make sense. In a world of logics, figures and checklists it's incredibly difficult to get your head around a plan that goes against all reasoning.
It's impossible and beyond comprehension that a large corporation could manipulate figures, then use an employees fear and sense of insecurity to turn them on fellow colleagues with such venom.
Looking back, if the company had honoured BASSA's acceptance to save the amount first put to them and not increased it by £30 million pa, where would we be now? Yes £30 millions per year worse off but would have saved £180 millions that was spent on strikes and a massive amount of bad publicity, produced a good 'one team' working environment and a loyal workforce.
You have to ask yourself why? So very sad.
