Forget how many voted or not, this method of balloting is not secret, having to identify yourself before voting will put many yes voters off. This so called consultative poll was always designed to produce the result that the TU wanted.
And what about the 'Vote' from BA - just a YES button - what a joke

Why are they determined to go ahead with more strike dates on the back of a poll that they have controlled through their website.
Because more members who chose to vote could do so via the website (more than attend a meeting at a racecourse)

Why haven't BASSA put any of the proposals from the company to the membership in a proper secret postal ballot with or without a recommendation.
Because the clock is against them in the 12 week window - a postal ballot takes circa 4 weeks to organise - given that ALL BASSA members are able to access a PC from anywhere in the world and given that a large number live overseas - what is the easiest way?

Nobody forced people to vote - and the turnout was once again excellent

Apparently TonyWoodley thought the deal was a good one
That's not what Woodley said
