Thanks for the reply.
I do though have to echo Col W and ask why? It is not a unions job to pass judgement on management decisions on the details of the service provided. A union provides a conduit for members to express their thoughts and concerns to management and vice versa as well as to negotiate for its members in a way that would be practically impossible as individuals.
However if something is changed that you would not be consulted on as an individual i.e. change in menu from rat supreme to rat-o-van, or the issuing of towels, then you should not expect to be consulted on it as a group or union.
It does seem that this dispute is as much about the power to run the airline, or at least veto any decision it doesn't like, as anything else.
