IHeartMBT you candour is to be applauded, although in stating your case here I have never seen your defence of BASSA's attempt to deceive you by claiming they offered savings of 175m when they knew that the actual savings were 54m.

This is only one example of several where BASSA clearly withheld or distorted information to both the public and its members to engineer a yes vote.

The truth is out in the open now, and if you choose to strike before a judge rules on the case your union asked for, then you will get no sympathy from anyone when BA starts cutting staff.

Now that you know Liz Malone was a major factor in screwing up the ballot, do you not think it is critical that you replace her with someone who is less likely to make such a fundamental mistake? Or do you swallow BASSA's line that it is UNITE's fault? Because it sounds to me as if BASSA thought that if they kept it quiet, BA wouldn't notice. How THICK can you get?!
