Slidebustle, Why don't you leave BASSA?
Friday's judgment could be the tipping point which finally precipitates a wave of mass cancellations of BASSA memberships.

UNITE's response is mindblowingly naive and beligerent to the bitter end.

If I were Willie Walsh, I'd use the prospect of going for costs as a silver bullet in these last gasp negotiations towards an agreeable settlement; no concessions, no willingness to engage in negotiation, then go for the BASSA jugular and bankrupt them.

Not to be forgotten also is the fact the union yet again managed to send ballot papers out to long-retired/moved on ex-staff, some of which I know for fact were mailed on to BA for them to use as they see fit; can UNITE honestly try once again for IA with a likely 2nd injunction and 3rd court defeat as a distinct possibility?
