Explain that. What is it to ‘prevail’ in protected industrial action and how does public sentiment control the outcome?
I would argue it is irrelevant.
You can not separate PIA from the EA. By law you can’t take ‘protected’ action outside an EA negotiation so to address the matters separately makes no sense.
The only way to prevail is to sign a superior EA. To capitulate and not fight for ones worth is the simplest way for the company to prevail.
