From the Times article
The official said that for more than a year managers had refused to meet BASSA officials, in effect fatally undermining the union, even though it represents 93 per cent of BA cabin crew. “We have never met them at any level for a year. It has all gone.”
More Spin - wasn't it BASSA that refused to meet with British Airways?
So, they they now admit that no negotiation basically undermined themselves?
