So, Mr Holley, if I understand you correctly:
It is regrettable that no solution has been found to stop this going ahead;
Both sides are entrenched on two particular issues. We know this.
so it is therefore absolutely vital that we strongly maintain the last part of our dispute, as this will have a significant impact on setting the tone of any future settlement.
Therefore, it's important that BASSA remain inflexible?
After that meeting adjourned, Unite has received no further approach to meet from either ACAS or British Airways and so no subsequent discussions have therefore been possible.
It's not possible to have talks unless they are initiated by ACAS on BA?
So the sum total is this:
1. BASSA must stick to its demands and all concessions must come from BA
2. Talks can only come when BA initiate them because we are in the right.
