Well said Litebulbs,
Bassa no longer represents the majority because only 5811 voted for their recommendation to strike. That means about 8000 of us did not vote to strike.
Many, like me, are leaving the union because they feel it is NOT representing their views anymore.
Isn't a union supposed to represent it's members? Well Bassa's attitude seems to be if you don't agree with us leave!!! Unfortunately that is what people have felt they must do and in the long run this will actually make Bassa impotent.
Unite needs to address this and set up a separate Unite branch, totally different from Bassa where initially Unite officials could run it until fresh elections could be held because quite frankly most of us, including some of the faithful have lost faith in DH and Co..
