DH's words:
You no longer need actual strikes to pressure the company - ballots can have the same effect, since they carry the threat of strikes. It would now appear that a simple, well-placed cross on the ballot paper removes some of the need to actually lose money and stand on picket lines.
So, given the above, would it be remiss to say that BASSA have no particular desire to provide accurate numbers of members balloted?
I would suggest this may well be part of the 'cunning' plan. Simply chuck out another ballot to all and sundry and then wait for BA to have the the result declared legally void and then cry to everyone how everything is unfair and how BA have carved away their democratic rights etc etc etc. The mindless and brainwashed respond in the entirely predictable manner and so the wheel continues to to turn. Repeat as required to fulfill the desires of DH, as stated above.
The only way out for BA is to let BASSA have their strike and THEN cut them off at the knees with the toilet roll list of illegalities.
