BALPA have just issued a statement supporting the Iberia crews and have said that under circumstances will they allow BA to strike break. Paella on Wednesday boys?
And here we have it, a lovely piece of mischief that illustrates the cancer at the core of BASSA.
Unions do not "allow" their members to do anything, they make no laws nor do they grant any rights or privileges. They negotiate terms and conditions of employment and support their members when those members need support. Union members are not an army of mindless fools there only to do as their bosses allow and dictate.
This one illuminating detail of the mindset of BASSA shows clearly how firmly they are stuck in the 70s, the decade that saw the destruction of British manufacturing industry as it became more and more mired in strikes, lead by hapless union barons. Hapless union barons such as Len McKlusley, who personally oversaw the virtual elimination of the Liverpool dockworkers. This same hapless fool is now in charge of UNITE, of which BASSA is a branch.
Proof in one short post exactly how irrelevant and dangerous advice from this source would be to those in IB.
