Sorry? Wasn't it BASSA that told its members (well, lied to them actually) that they CANNOT be sacked for going on strike?
Let's be truthful about who is telling lies here, shall we?
If you go on strike, you are making yourself a target for termination.
You might want to convince others in your union that this isn't true, but you know it and I know it.
And don't you think they should know it? Is this because the BASSA leadership doesn't want empty picket lines? After all, they'll be busy with important meetings that day, won't they; way too busy to strike.
I see from your message above that you are aggrieved that the pilots are not supporting your Canute-like attempts at stopping the tide.
I get the impression they've never wanted your help - it's probably how they managed to successfully negotiate an agreement with their employer.
