Mildly Militant,
I can understand that BASSA wish the Union busting idea to be there, it motivates the membership to accept actions that they possibly might not accept under normal circumstances. When a member questions an action by the board which has little or nothing to do with the current situation then the Union busting card provides an excellent get out clause.
Do you not think that, a a corporation, BA has had ample opportunity to 'bust' BASSA? Given both the opportunities presented by ill advised Union actions under SOSR and the finacial ability through the Courts to 'destroy' BASSA after Lizannes idiotic attempt to sway votes during a ballot, BA could have walked all over the strikers.
This isn't about Union busting, it is about striking a very careful balance between those who feel wounded by the company with its approach toward BASSA and those who feel wounded by their treatmentfrom BASSA. It difficult line to tread and I, personally, think the company has, for the period of this dispute, excercised extreme constraint. For how much longer though is anyones guess.
