Could we ever have believed that a Union that we all trusted and paid subscription fees to could have achieved the following:

A. Rejected incentive schemes (shares/bonus/free tickets that most people could only dream of) on our behalf without our consultation.
B. Created a rift between the cabin crew and every other BA department that most of us would never have thought possible.
C. Made the general public hate us.
D. Initiated New Fleet immediately by requesting crew back on planes.
E. Wasted thousands (millions?) of hardworking members' subscription fees on 3 lost court cases.
F. Accused anyone and everyone of being wrong and "out to get them" - WW, BF, PWC, BALPA, PCCC, Pilots, Scabin crew, Waterside Workers, High Court Judges, BBC et.al.
G. Rejected a Monthly Travel Payment that has huge benefits to crew.
H. And finally, unbelievably and shamefully they have led their members to strike on an ILLEGAL ballot, putting them at severe risk of dismissal.

They have achieved ABSOLUTELY NOTHING OF BENEFIT TO THEIR MEMBERS and are decimating our once respected community.
Members must now reject this appalling behaviour and resign from Unite. A simple phone call to pay services is all it takes.

It is imperative now that we all stand together to reject Unite and the atrocities they have committed. It is our jobs, our futures, and our livelihoods that they are playing with.

Whether you are a striker, a non-striker or someone sitting on the fence you owe it to yourself and to your future to resign from Unite. We all need to stick together, and find a new way forward for ourselves. This is our opportunity for all of us to be one community again. Too much energy has been wasted against one another, against the pilots and against other BA colleagues. Let's turn that energy into a positive force to create a stronger, better workforce without the thorn in the side that is Unite.

Unite have now shown their true colours: a despicable Union that has achieved nothing but hatred for us. Appallingly, they have now even put their own members at risk of dismissal.

Enough is Enough! Resign from Unite immediately so that we can get our community and our company back on its feet.

The PCCC are ready, willing and capable of taking on the challenge of leading our community to a brighter future. Doing nothing is simply not an option - we all have to take responsibility for our future.

See our new website at www.mypccc.co.uk and get onboard!

I am BA cabin crew and this is my own viewpoint and not that of BA.
