Unfortunately it looks like the ballot papers will have to be sent out.The company are treating the UK division with total contempt. The feeling amongst the crews is that they have had enough. The are not willing to let there T&c be driven into the ground any further. Should the strike go ahead it will be with the full backing of Balpa. All other routes would of been exhausted. Considering many of the reasons for the indusrial action will the result of the VNV actions, Where will this leave the VNV. Balpa will request the support of other Unions via Ialpa,the VNV are part of this group. Unless they break ranks with the rest of the Unions they will have to support the uk guys and girls. Could be an interesting debate!!!!!!!!!!!!
