Bssa's Legal Team

I wonder if Bassa's Legal Representatives would be happy to answer questions regarding whether or not their "client" has been acting in the best interest of its "members"?

I here the latest from Galley FM that disillusioned Bassa members who are tired of seeing their "monthly subs" go towards paying for "creative writers" to write character assassination missives published on on its website, are seeking to break away and form a new union. After all a union represents its members and those who run can just as easily be voted off it as they are voted onto it. If the shareholders and board of BA deem it necessary to give a "vote of confidence" to the likes of WW then perhaps its time for unhappy BASSA members to give a vote of "No confidence" on its Executive! Perhaps the breakaway union is just for the "crew" who arent on the mega salaries, best trips, best allowances, 30% contracts but the ones who have little to loose financially with the BA proposals and see that in the current economic climate there is a need for change. You cant have your cake and eat it. Perhaps they are also the people that read the newspapers and watch the news on tv and see that its not just BA that are making job cuts and cost savings but also the likes of Virgin, Lufthansa, Japan Airlines as well as many of the American carriers. Surely not every airline can be "wrong"!!!!!!
