Interestingly the latest update from Unite contains this:
British Airways are imposing changes and will be breaking our agreements and contracts. Right now, it may appear frustratingly quiet for you our members, but be assured this is far from the case. As we said before, we will hope for the best, but prepare for the worst, and rest assured your union is doing exactly that.
We need your help to spread the word amongst your friends and colleagues.
My bold. Does that sound like the kind of thing a union says when it knows it's members stand behind it? Or does it sound like an appeal from a union that knows it's members have no heart for a fight?
