BA shut down the offices of BASSA and denied the reps and leaders of the union, the ability to function. It was a deliberate union busting strategy.
Again, CCCP, no. Unite tore up the Facilities Agreement in Decmber 2009. BA had no hand in this.
(The Facilites Agreement was a document that sets out the requirements for BA to allow reps reasonable time to man the office, attend meetings and other day to day functions.)
This means that the "ability to function" as you put it was removed by the union themselves.
The offices were shut down by Unite themselves.
When you read the rhetoric about BA refusing to allow reps to man the office or to attend informal meetings, this is nothing but union spin.
Unite withdrew from this facility of their own volition and therefore BA cannot abide to an agreement that no longer exists.
If Unite had not torn the agreement up, then your reps no doubt would still be able to do the things that they decided they no longer wished to do.
Again, this is an example of your union acting without your best interests, and then being more than economical with the truth about what
really happened. But then there is nothing new there.
There is no union busting strategy - BA need crew to be represented by a union, and have never said anything to the contrary.
