Going back to this "BASSA Limited" thingie. One suggestion for the move to a limited company is to try and prevent them getting royally shafted by any lawsuit by BA over losses because of the screwed up strikes.

Now, this is where my mind gets working. Surely the "limited company" would be irrelevant as BASSA is part of UNITE so any damages would have to come from UNITE itself (they do sanction the IA, don't they)?

Of course, that would apply IF BASSA were to remain a part of UNITE. Could there be plans afoot to either have BASSA kicked out to "save" UNITE or are BASSA planning to break away from UNITE because UNITE are starting to see the light and are saying things the BASSA hierarchy don't exactly want to hear.............
