@ Glamgirl ...
In regards to being afraid of speaking up, I can also tell you that union reps treat each other like this. It is truly beyond belief now.
Unfortunately, there are plenty of people who feel bullied and scared, both by colleagues and union reps.
Does BA not have some form of HR CHIRP? This is bullying in the workplace, and is surely illegal? Or is that simply a manifestation of how far BASSA has been able to take over the Farm?
