I'm mystified - why has there been no ballot since Unite and BASSA said strike action was "inevitable" if imposition was allowed to stand?
Just a thought ...
Perhaps BASSA have their thinking caps on.
Apart from the current postal strike causing disruptions, they may be thinking if they have a ballot now, this would include all the cabin crew that want VR. This would dilute a yes vote.
If the union wait until the VRs are gone, then have the ballot, the ratio would be more favourable for a yes vote (not guaranteed of course)
