I cannot prove anything that is in this post.
Unite sent the questionnaire (about bullying) to cabin crew and to cabin crew only.
_ Unite sent out 11,055 questionnaires.
_ Some CC Unite members were not sent questionnaires because they are not on e-mail - maybe 5, maybe 500 who use T-witter and SMS but have no e-mail address.
_ Another discrepancy is that the 11,055 included some ex-members of Unite (they were included because of incompetence by BASSA in updating the data base of members).
_ 27 recipients of this questionnaire were angry that they were still on the books of BASSA as members of Unite - these 27 returned the questionnaire, uncompleted but with a letter stapled to the questionnaire demanding that their details be removed from the data base.
Now someone who is completely ignorant of Unions and airlines is given the job of writing words to change dry numbers into compelling words and phrases.
_ This is the chap who writes
and the vast majority (98.6 per cent) were also Unite members, highlighting the high level of union density at the airline.
This chap said that 1,905 responses were received - he added the 27 because "after all" these 27 had returned the questionnaire.
_ No-one checked or edited what he wrote.
