Those who misguidedly believe BALPA have a sure knowledge of the legal system and the likelihood of a legal win or loss and the corresponding financial loss the Union will suffer for all its members would be well advised to rermember how wrong Balpa were in 1993 with the Dan Air situation.
Then Balpa gave no support,Chris Darke pronouncing that those made redundant had no legal right to re employment/reinstatement or whatever and would be well advised to accept BAs paltry offer of GBP1500.
Others saw things differently (many balpa members amongst them) and through an action group took BA to Court....won the Tribunal ...and to Balpas embarrassment won GBP 3 Million.
Tell me that is an untrue statement.
