It is a shame people seem to be tarring everyone with the same brush; all BA crew do not belong to BASSA, all BA crew do not agree with the situation and how we got there, and all BA should think carefully when burning their bridges with regard to union membership!
I don't think all of us are tarring everybody with the same brush, but the question many are asking is how BASSA ended up with what seems, when viewed from the outside, such an extreme bunch of Reps. At best the BASSA electorate weren't paying attention to candidate's manifestos when putting crosses in boxes, at worse they knew what was going on but were prepared to turn a blind eye to some of the excesses because BASSA genuinely seemed to do a good job of protecting the LHR Cabin Crew cadre.

Personally I have always been a believer in the role of modern Unions but I always keep an eye on what my Union, and my Reps, are doing in my name.
