Did I understand that correctly; the .....show could continue as they could potentially become permanently salaried BASSA reps even though two of them don't work for BA any longer???
I don't know this to be the case. Though these people have been remarkably bad at strategic thinking in the interests of BASSA's members, they didn't get to be union top dogs without a certain amount of tactical animal cunning. They must know, whatever they say, that the game's up on this round of IA.
I'd start planning for the future if I were them, and the only paying one available is staring them in the face.
I think the members need someone to 'Braveheart' the situation. No luck thus far.
