The performance of Bassa in this area of taxation makes me wonder about the forthcoming pension negotiations.
There are likely to be some very difficult propositions made by the trustees to the company and by the company to the unions that could have significant impact on take home pay in the short term and on pension entitlement in the long term. From the last pension negotiations and these tax issues, I have little confidence that Bassa have the expertise, nor the negotiating ability to represent their members effectively. Do Bassa members share my pessimism?
