Juan, with apologies for the delay in responding to your question, out & about ..........
"what do you mean by ' A Union Pension'. Surely they don't get one of those, as they are only running the branch. Happy to be put right".
As I understand it, the union pensions for the BASSA officers, were probably agreed to, by a change in the BASSA rules prior to joining Unite, possibly proposed/voted into being by the BASSA officers of the time. Of course, at that time they were running a complete union rather than just a 'Branch', with of course the resulting responsibilities and, working for BA. I presume that Malone was already living in LA then, so must have been very busy on Atlantic crossings.
Could I ask that if you can add anything to this or my earlier post today, please PM me. Many thanks and again, apologies for delay in response.
Cheers
