Do you think that CC89s non-confrontational approach to IR has led to them being viewed as 'managements best mate' by BASSA? After all, BASSAs view has been that you are either with them or against them, and they've spent years slating CC89 in their 'news' publications by the security point in Compass. I've always found it telling that the CC89 members are generally calm-tempered independent thinkers, compared to some BASSA members who if they weren't causing aggro at work would be gathering outside the houses of suspected paedophiles with badly written placards.
It's also interesting that CC89 have decided that a number of issues BASSA want to strike for don't stand up because you've already agreed to them. Unfortunately that view won't get far as rational thought is the enemy of BASSA (lets face it they've run a strike ballot based on a show of hands of less than 2% of their membership) and now they are hunkering down with their siege mentality blaming everyone else for their misfortune yet expecting their support. This self-delusional stance seems to be feeding itself on their own bulletin board too judging by the bit of it I read last week.
