Lets just say that particular union. I still stand by what I said a long time ago, BASSA have been an extemporary union. What fantastic T&C's they have achieved and maintained over the years. But they have been outdone here. In my opinion, Mr Walsh is out to bust BASSA, but it is the failing of the said union, not to at least protect existing members terms, even if the condition may have got a bit tougher. There was a pay rise in it some where, if the fight had been smarter.
