DH has a responsibility to represent as Secretary of BASSA, over 10,000 BA cabin crew. Part of a union busting strategy is to isolate the members from their union officials.
It will be interesting to see what the Tribunals view is of BA's behaviour.
Err Wrong again I am afraid!!!
Prior to T5 BASSA and CC89 were virtually the only organisations to have office facilities provided by BA.
It is not a requirement and BASSA had removed themselves to a suite of offices on the Bath Road prior to the T5 opening. They then moved into the new Unite building, again on the Bath Road.
DH should not still be the Branch Secretary. It is clear in the rule book that you need to be employed as cabin crew in BA to even be a member let alone Secretary. So if DH had taken severance or retired would he still insist on being Secretary (drawing a big fat commission)?
10,000 cabin crew?????
