the proposal to tax each BASSA member an additional 5 lbs per month to subsidize commuters who have lost their ST.
I'm all for this! Take 5 lbs per month off them and in a year we might have a few less fatties on board!

Jesting aside, it's incorrect to say nothing happened at the union meeting as it appears a very significant development has only just filtered out. From another place.....

"Duncan said at meeting strikes ain't gonna work as Walsh has a huge volunteer army, not to mention our own scabs! The only thing we can target is forward bookings. "

That admission that the strike strategy is doomed is possibly the biggest step forward in some time, and it means that the power to defeat the strike now rest with the passengers! Book BA and the strategy fails! I might even suggest that as an idea to the advertising department!
