"The question is then raised, why does this "silent majority" keep voting heavily in favour of what they are told by the BASSA leadership when they have no intention of following through (and indeed prior history of not following through)"?- I don't like WW/Bill Francis.
- I don't like my roster.
- I don't like my manager.
- I don't like the man in 16A.
- I've just had an ARI.
- I didn't get CSD.
- I'm scared of my union.
- I'll vote for a strike because of one of the above but I'll come to work because I live outside the UK.
- I hate my job because my union say the company is bullying me.
Anything but the issue which was the subject of the ballot, a modest reduction in crew complements, now long forgotten.
I'm sure there must be moderates among our reps that are wondering where this is going, what is the end game, no job, no pension? The decision makers in BASSA/Unite that have achieved nothing up to now need to do the right thing GO.
