As a non union pilot in BA I have already pointed out to our management that failure to pay non members would constitute discrimination under current legislation, and with the precedent already set, they would lose any further case.
Might have to get the lawyer to write to the company but I cannot see how they can avoid paying.
Either way I will not fund the life style of our BALPA reps....period!
Whilst not anti union per se, they are largely self serving cartels, that have never been able to protect the long term condition in any industry.
