What you need to understand is that the BASSA reps are desperately searching for a scapegoat to disguise the fact that they were never going to have their demands met and have failed to deliver. They are very keen to blame Tony Woodley, I believe going so far as to publish that article in thir forum. They are also fabricating a whole new scenario where the clever old BASSA reps had thought of a better solution to the pensions problem (pretty impressive given that they hadn't thought of it by the 5th of Jan) but it was vetoed by BALPA! I'd like to say you couldn't make it up, but they just did.

They also seem to regularly overlook the fact that 6 of their 9 union reps voted for this outcome. If they were being stitched up by TGWU then why didn't they all vote no?
