"Listening" and "BASSA" are not 2 words I ever expect to see in the same sentence
My concern for my colleagues is that they are being sold down the river by their 'reps' who are (as I understand it) paid for by their union directly, rather than by the members. As such (unlike BALPA reps who are paid by BA as part of our agreement), they have less to lose by advocating strike action - after all they lose less than their members, as their union underwrites part of their pay.
Guess who will suffer if BA goes under. The UNITE reps or the general membership? Duh..... Just look at the history of UNITE. The GG dispute of 200x resulted in reps being fired from BA for illegal activities. What happened to them? They were employed by UNITE on their original conditions! What was their exposure to their illegal action - none, and the members they represented? - sacked. Go figure who is really on your side - answer - it isn't UNITE.
It is time (as I have said before) for the membership to regain control.
