It has been an utter disgrace to publish crews allowances in the red top press
Why?
It was BASSA themselves (and some CC via various interviews/YouTube videos etc) who claimed that CC only earned £12-£14k. They neglected to mention that this was a basic wage and that you get allowances on top.
Being economical with the truth will always come back and bite you especially when, as in the case of BASSA, you are not clever enough to pull the wool over peoples eyes.
If BASSA want to try to make mileage out of factually incorrect claims, they have to accept that it is wholly apporpriate for the truth to be told.
Your beef should be with your useless union leadership... have you not worked this out yet?
