I remember a while back that BASSA had to get "permission" to hold a ballot from UNITE.
Unite had the power to say no but once they said yes it was totally upto BASSA how and what they did.
UNITE had no further say in the matter.

This was clearly shown last night on the ITN news when the UNITE big boss denied all knowledge of the BASSA email and also said he felt the 12 day strike was over the top.

It seems apparent that UNITE thinks BASSA have over reacted.

The question is that do UNITE now have the power to call off the strike or can only BASSA do that?

Who runs this show, BASSA or UNITE? I'm confused now.
