I understand it is difficult for small groups to get organized, but if I was in your situation, I'd organize a meeting with the VNV. You can verify/discuss all your accusations, if they are true VNV will feel bad which should bring goodwill, if the accusations are false, it is good to know for you
LLuke, the BALPA CC has tried to have a constructive meeting with the VNV for several years. Each time a meeting is arranged, it is cancelled the day before with some reason or other being given. It is clear that the VNV do not wish to have talks with BALPA.
BALPA were not allowed to be included in talks with the VNV and the Air France Pilots union regarding future harmonisation of the workforce.
