The facts are that BA and a VCC army have not been able to destroy BASSA or the spirit of its members.
That maybe so, certainly for a hardcore of members. But if that's all your two years of industrial action has achieved it has been an expensive and high risk way to achieve this. What else has BASSA achieved?
My point is that BASSA's strategy is actually making BASSA and their members more and more marginal. If you vote for more IA then it only gives BA legitimacy for further increasing MF. Result: you lose. I have said this before but you have at some point got to ask who's side is DH really on? The position he has led you to now is really to the benefit of BA not BASSA members. Fair?
It's time to ditch BASSA's current leadership. They're strategy isn't securing the long term future or the best interests of the rank and file member. That is what really matters isn't it?
It's time to stand back, take a deep breath and re-evaluate the situation.
