Can we, once and for all, put to rest one simple little fact.

This dispute and ballot is not about, nor was it ever about New Fleet!

Unite agreed that with BA during the failed negotiations after the first ballot. This ballot is, was and always will be about imposition. NOTHING MORE.

With that in mind you need to ask yourselves why did BASSA/Unite not ensure that their voting membership were well aware and adequately briefed on what they were balloting about? Why did BASSA not annotate very clearly on the original ballot paper that the dispute was only about imposition? Why have BASSA/Unite continued to not only allow the misconception about New Fleet but actively encouraged it? New Fleet will be another battle to be fought after this one, if the company can survive that long!

BASSA clearly wish to keep their membership ill informed and in the dark simply to ensure a good mandate for strike.

Is that really adequate representation?
