Seems to me that you all might be under the impression that you “have” to accept the deal on offer, just because your CEO states that it is one time and so never to be repeated or improved.
Please be aware that this is a tried and tested (and slightly weary though still effective) management maneuver to railroad you all into acceptance. Don’t fall for it!
Vote No and send your representatives in again for further talks proposing your own deal (it’s called taking the initiative) and remember to make sure that it features any benefits being back dated to when your last agreement expired.
BALPA members – don’t lose heart – you have the moral ascendancy and you can win this fight.
Non-BALPA members – for chrissakes join and stop being such wimps!
