you can always rely on BASSA to tell the whole truth
remember the claim that only 40 of the old cabin crew 89 members went on strike? It appears to be debunked in the latest UNITE news letter.
The day started with a quick meeting for the reps.
The meeting then began with an update of recent events and the current situation.
We know from Unite office that 250 of our 1200 members claimed strike pay, rather than the 35 or 40 that has been rumoured, which is over 20% of our membership.
Also BASSA claim to represent over 10000 crew seems false it appears their membership numbers have fallen by over 1000
National Officer Brian Boyd then addressed the meeting. He gave an update on the current legal situation which was welcomed by all. He also confirmed current membership figures that we have 1241 members, Bassa have 8975, so 10216 were balloted.
