A couple of suggested changes to the first paragraph of the BASSA message from Hubert Davenport's post might make it more accurate:
It is clear that BASSA are out of control. They represent the worst excesses of Trade Unionism not seen since the 1970s. Where the banks got involved in a crooked exploitation of the financial system, BASSA has sought to bring down their employer through hissy fits, petty disputes and largely failed strikes. BASSA has a hapless senior rep, who has lost his BA job over his outrageous behaviour, but he still refuses to acknowledge responsibility for his vile actions and words. There is absolutely no doubt that the BASSA and Unite have made some disastrous decisions and the company has suffered through lost bookings. The negative publicity for British Airways and the damage sustained to the brand and the company's image, is unimaginable
