"What makes it such a strong result is not just the vote itself but the turnout figures!"

Can anyone explain why the balpa membership is so low in baby and do you think the baby vote would have carried as much weight without the other two votes.

Surely Balpa should now launch a recruitment offensive on the back of the recent success. I have to admit that I am amazed Balpa were sat in crewrooms trying to get people to join up, when even if they did they were unable to vote and so seemed a pointless exercise.

I would have liked to have seen this proactive recruitment weeks before the ballot papers went out in order to ensure a high percentage of the company could at least vote!
