As a customer please could a striking cabin crew answer the following please.
1) If Unite/Bassa are so sure the removal of the travel scheme from strikers is illegal why make it a sticking point for a negotiated settlement, if you are so sure it's illegal then getting it back through the courts would be a certainty wouldnt it? at no cost to unions ( costs awarded)
2) When items are communicated by Bassa reps and then found to be innacurate or false by independant means why aren't the strikers asking questions?
3) When BA issues facts and figures which can be independantly verified why do strikers refuse to believe them. Do they imagine that all of society including TV news channels and papers wouldnt pick up on the "lies" but would instead go along with them?
As an aside, i wonder if BA aren't pulling a blinder. Collecting all of bassa's missives ie tales of no planes taking off, fictional commuters, ect and saving it all for a court case and getting strikes made illegal by the fact that "facts" were in fact lies to the unions membership and bassa/unite aren;t fit to represent their members..mis representation.
If mis representation could be proved would it nullify any ballot result as the membership were voting under false pretences and assumptions.
Oh Professor Upchurch's previous employment as a researcher and journalist for a UK trade union wouldnt of course colour his opinion
