VCCM,
You do not have to inform the company that you will be taking industrial action (if you are a union member), and you are correct in your actions of reporting any member of staff who contacts you to (harass, bully, scare or intimidate) find out your intentions regarding reporting to work.
As someone said earlier on, I am glad weapons aren't allowed on the aircraft as the atmosphere can be horrible.
I am due to fly out on Day 1 and I personally don't think I will have anywhere near a full crew.
I am sad that it has got to this situation, how the management never seen it coming beggars belief and now departments are turning on each other & now we have started down the VS v BA argument!
You have to be focussed on what you want out of this industrial action, everything else is immaterial just now!
I predict 4.8% and no strings as this is the only settlement I can see that allows both sides to claim victory!
