I think the problem probably lies in Unite and Bassa no longer agreeing on what to do.
I think unite wanted BASSA to recomend the membership accept the last offer and that did not happen.
When DS and TW told us we were going to get the chance to vote they said that the union would NOT try and influence the vote.
However when we got the ballot paper, the union also included a copy of the offer and basically went through it bit by bit saying how bad it was.
I think BASSA would like to take BA to court over the staff travel but I am guessing that Unite are not happy to foot the bill.
I think that maybe the silence from both Unite and BASSA is because they are in conflict with each other now maybe.
