It is heartbreaking that our once great community has been reduced to such a low level.
It is an absolute travesty that union reps, who take £10-15 per month in subscription fees from our community and purport to represent us, can spend their time and our hard-earned money writing such tripe. Is there no Union watchdog to report this blatant abuse of funds to?
The greatest travesty is, however, that we now appear to be trapped in this mess with no way out. Many cabin crew are, it would appear, adopting a "not my aisle" attitude, and simply not getting involved in any way - hence the poor return on the union ballot. They continue, albeit unwittingly, to support the union by not cancelling their membership, yet fail to vote in a crucial ballot that effects their future. Why?
Is there no way out of this mess? Can BA not de-recognise Unite? The Professional Cabin Crew Council is trying to point out to our community the damage that Unite is inflicting on us. It would appear that our community, perhaps due to the sheer intensity, complexity and length of the situation, are now unable/unwilling to even participate in the decisions about our future. They are not resigning from the union, they are not partaking in important ballots - they simply appear to think that by not getting involved the problem will disappear.
How can we help our community to help ourselves to get out of this appalling situation?
