a) Unite did a good job for most sectors and work groups within British Airways._ BASSA+Amicus is the exception.
b) Unite have had two invalid cabin crew strike ballots so far, and most observers blame BASSA+Amicus for this.
c) What the MAK case says to me is
1) Unions are necessary to prevent the exploitation of the labour force - this is not deliberate exploitation - but it just happens - standards slip with time - organisations become too large and an organisation loses its humanity.
2) Unite can win legal cases if the case is just.
3) Justice takes a long time, Eliza was dismissed in 2007.
