If you have a right, you cannot be lawfully punished for it, but who is to say it won't happen, regardless of the right.

Litebulbs, are there any precedents for members taking legal action against their reps/unions for -what i would term as - deception ?
That is an interesting point. If it was proved, then as far as I am aware, both BA and Unite members could pursue damages. I little light reading for me now to see if I can find anything firm on your question.
