Let me now tidy up a few of 'Land ASAP's' misconceptions :
Many of the ground staff do NOT take 2 exotic holidays a year (worth £3/4000 a yr as he puts it) .
Most of them can barely afford a week in Europe.
And all those ground staff i know of who have been there for 10yrs+ ,have not even used their concessions for longhaul flights yet , so No - you cannot add that to their salary as it is wholly misrepresentative.
Many of them have to do overtime (now rarely available) just to get by each month .
This whole issue has been poorly represented enough in the media without your rhetoric.
If these systems will have no future impact on them, then why are BA adamant about enforcing it with no guarantee of dire consequences ?
The Ground staff really enjoy their job and have adapted already (along with all other BA staff)to a sweeping range of cost cutting changes under Future size & shape, and the business response scheme.Saving £1billion in the process.
These systems combined have the power to enforce split shifts/multiple changes to rostered hours and more .
The groundstaff are not bothered in the least about simply ' clocking in ' .
By the very nature of their job , these people have to be very resilient and adaptable.
They are not the kind of people who would lay their livelihoods/careers on the line for nothing.
