Reading Len McLucky's letter above, I sense a worrying change in tone from the Unite leadership, compared to when Tony Woodley was at the helm.
You got the impression that Tony, toward the end, had had enough of BASSA, thought that they had been offered a reasonably ok deal and wanted shot of them and this dispute. Len seems all up for keeping it going as long as possible, maybe to coincide with a summer of co-ordinated industrial strife across the country, in protest to the government's austerity measures.
Are BASSA's members going to be used as pawns in a far bigger political gameplan?
