I'm bemused. What are BASSA supposed to have written to BA about ? As others have noted, there is no way that BA can know who voted which way as it's a secret ballot being run by an independant organisation. Said organisation knows it is more that their reputation is worth to divulge individual's votes.

Secondly, if BA has been calling/texting from anonymous numbers, how on earth do the recipients know that the calls/texts are from BA and not someone stirring it ?? Moreover, how do BASSA know for sure that they are not the subject of a wind up by someone like the SWP ??

This sounds awfully like BASSA are scared that there may be a NO vote to strike action, which would mean a rapid end to this dispute. There's a part of me that suspects that this is just another attempt by either BASSA, or their supporters to sway the membership with untrue information. It's a bit of posturing. Get someone to spread a nasty fib, then be seen to be the hero in shining armour by claiming to be 'doing something about it', although in truth there is nothing that will be done or neeed to be done - it's playing to the gallery.
