BALPA is fully recognised within my company. They did very little for me 3.5 years ago when I was off long-term/unpaid leave with illness.
I got keen promises of help from their Medical Representative, but when he found out the nature of my illness, I never heard from him again despite me following up on at least 2 further ocassions.
I wrote to their GenSec twice without reply; 'Big Airways' and Membership income streams are the two main priorities at West Drayton in my conclusion.
I'm now a member of IPA and found their personal service excellent in recent times, especially on legal employment matters. I'm not a membership number at IPA.
