Re-writing History
One of the folk over on the CC thread is now trying to re-write history - implying that bassa did negotiate, and was at those meetings, in the negotiating room, (rather than being in the adjournment room and refusing to meet either BA or amicus).
Re-writing history is one of the favourite tactics of Socialist Worker, a rather nasty organisation who appear to have taken a role in this dispute. By repute, many of the BFC attendees were not striking BA CC but were sympathisers from Socialist Worker.
Run for some time by the millionaire Redgrave family and their close friends, if bassa are dealing with them, I feel sorry for their members.
I was in a dispute some time ago when SW tried to muscle in on the issue. Fortunately the TU members saw them coming and told them to Foxtrot Oscar.
No matter how bassa are perceived by the travelling public, allowing SW to become involved in any way will make it worse.
