I agree that being negative about the unions on here is easy as one's identity is protected! How many people are actually going into the BASSA offices and withdrawing their names? How many are willing to openly say who they are on here to back up their claims. Few, if any will leave BASSA, especially with the mess BA is currently in....the crew might suddenly find they need their union to protect them from whatever managers feel needs to be imposed.
So, if you feel let down, withdraw your support and work to your own unprotected conditions. Crews tend to use the union when it suits them anyway.
