How can you say BASSA is ineffective, when the same old people keep stating that a large proportion of BA crew are the best paid in the world? I would say that is a very effective union and until the world crash, BA still made substantial profits!
If they had listened to some of the advice on here, they would have been down on market rate years ago.
And please stop banging on about a strike being illegal. Why would it be? OK, taking BA to court over SOSR may be a struggle, but industrial action against an imposition is not.
