The sad thing is, no matter how this ends, the BASSA hardliners still won't accept that the Union is in any way at fault. Instead, they will blame those of us that did turn up for work for any consequences they and we may now suffer, accusing us of being cowards, spineless or "looking to buy a backbone from DF".
It won't occur to them to wonder why so many crew turned their backs on the Union this time. Maybe if, for once, they did look inwards rather than always looking outwards, we'd be halfway to having a decent union to take us forward and look after the interests of ALL of us.
