May I ask one final question, requiring as simple an answer as possible? So far in all the threads something is not quite clear.......and again may I say I am NOT in FR and this is purely out of interest for the industry.
To all those in the anti-union camp posting on this thread:
Is base closure and job loss threats your ONLY reason for being anti representation? APART from that, what are your real concerns over representation? What do you think BALPA involvement will NEGATIVELY do to FR? What do you feel, in general, across the industry is bad in a united workforce? It is obvious why management despise unions, but why the staff body? Please no angry responses, just clear answers...so far all I read is "dont join BALPA they do nothing for you"! well if so, then their involvement is no concern but if they DO have power, how will that power negatively affect the staff?
