fincastle84,
Your Christmas travel plans are safe. What BASSA are undertaking here is merely a 'consultative’ or ‘indicative’ ballot - kind of like a referendum - and it has absolutely no effect on BA flights because it cannot be used as a strike platform. And I bet there aren't that many BASSA members that are truly aware of that. I'll say it again - BASSA cannot call a strike on this ballot.
It would appear that the main reason BASSA are doing this is window dressing - trying to pressure the company (because it does upset BA's punters and some take their business elsewhere) and trying to cover up all the bluster issued earlier, "If they impose, we will ballot." But it is largely useless and meaningless - they can't do a thing with the result, except perhaps issue more juvenile edicts and claptrap. Hollow nonsense, all of it!
Enjoy your holiday!
Another brilliant post - spot on ...
