If you end up with a marginal "no" vote what kind of mandate is that giving to your CC to go back to management and demand huge increases in what is on offer? Very little I would suggest.

Part of that is true....however...I think that BALPA has been "leading" itīs members in certain directions from time to time when they really only should have said "Heres whats on offer, what do you think??" All this "recommending this, recommending that" is giving some members a wrong idea of how negotiations and votes like these work....I think...stand to be corrected...
