You have hit the nail on the head. It is blatantly obvious that with a show of hands at Kempton Park, rejection of bonuses, shares and free tickets without putting it to the members and equally the out of touch Unite leaders now negotiating on our behalf, our community is getting poor, if any, proper representation.
There are too many political forces at play here: BASSA fighting Unite, Unite joint secretaries vying for the top job, Unite funding political parties, BASSA fighting Amicus, and last but not least BASSA fighting BA.
We have to take control of our futures by first of all getting rid of all these power crazed individuals and representing ourselves. Cabin crew know what works and what won't, we know what we can afford to give up and what we can't, and we are, contrary to popular belief, capable of negotiating, collaborating and achieving great things for the company, the crew and the
customer.
Together we need to rid our community of the politics that is ruining our lives.
Time for the community to get it's voice back by having true, independent,
professional representation. What could be better right now than an independent council, run by cabin crew representing the needs of our community?
Now, where can we find that?
