Why don't we all wait until 5th November to see what the outcome of the court case will be before assuming there will be a strike. If it goes Bassa's way we have to wait for the ballot results early in December.
There are a few obstacles in the way though.
If a trade union cannot reach a collective agreement with the employer, an employer can impose changes other than contractual changes providing 90 days notice is given. Did BA not give the 90 days notice? Or will the court be deliberating over whether one cabin crew removed from an aircraft is a contractual change or not?
After reading most of these threads I get the impression the union only really wants to turn the clock back so they can start negotiating now.
Is now too late for BA to re-open negotiations with them?
I wish the cabin crew the best of luck.
