The problem is that a failed strike (due lack of support on the day) is probably the only way to destroy BASSA.
In the 2007 dispute BASSA "lost" when UNITE pulled the plug and stopped the strike at the 11th hour.

Unfortunately BASSA didn't die, it just continued on and threatened another strike in 2008, then caused mayhem with the snow disruption, got really petty with the hot towels issue and is now balloting for yet another strike.

Unless it is literally destroyed it will just keep picking battles year after year after year.

None of us really want to see a strike but then none of us want to see BASSA control this company any longer.

BASSA said it will fight to the death, that probably needs to happen to end this once and for all.

let's just hope it's their death and not ours.

(Obviously BASSA supporters need not agree!)
