I think you will find that it is Seriph who is stuck in a timewarp. He has had to twist a pro-union press release to try to make a point which was not valid in the first place and is now throwing around the must astounding generalisations that may have been true of some unionists 30 years ago but could not in a million years apply to BALPA.
The trouble is that he is so prejudiced, in order to validate his own position he cannot afford to take into account any of the facts. So don't try to confuse him with facts - his mind is made up.
