Mohitomaster,
Perhaps you should reflect inwards as to why BA wish BASSA to pull its financial weight? BASSA have steadfastly refused to move on anything remotely resembling modernisation of T's & C's for the past 20 years. They have put themselves so far out of touch with all other Unions with respect to modern working practices that they stick out like a sore thumb.
In recent discussions over the move from T1/T4 to T5 lots of contracts were rationalised to fit the new working environment. Many (the loaders) were sanctioned by Unite. BASSA have NEVER agreed to any form of change and the management have been too weak to deal with it.
This time around many other Unions claused their changes with a clause which stated that they would only sign off permanently on changes if ALL Unions agreed to make changes. This left BA with little choice but to implement change when, as expected, BASSA refused to believe in anything.
Union busting? Not really. BA could have financially bankrupt BASSA at any point during the court disputes but that is not what they want. DH and the other reps have brought upon themselevs consequences derived from their own actions. Don't turn up to work regularly, get sacked, use intimidatory and threatening behaviour against other employees, get suspended.
There is no 'Union busting' going on, all that is happening is BASSA throwing a hissy fit because nobody gives a damn about them anymore.
Get over it. BASSA will remain but they won't be holding the company by the balls anymore and amen to that.
