The simple fact is that the unions in the Scandi countries are real unions, who have power to negotiate and not only consult like this Mickey Mouse BALPA union that we have here in the UK, who legally is powerless to make any real changes in then industry.
Here we go again, cursing the few who at least try to make an effort... Only
you can give BALPA more power, by changing your attitude!
Remember; A war can't be won without fighting the battles!
