CFC just genuinely interested.
If I phone my boss and say I'm not coming in and I give him a reason that's one thing. If I just fail to appear, there needs to be a bloody good reason (and I have a forgiving boss).
Again, given that BASSA tell us they are so sure about the legality of striking, I'm just asking whether there is a legal burden on the strikers to notify BA before they refuse to work?
The employment laws have changed a bit since Grunwick.
I suppose BASSA's interpretation of this will all appear on the Union websites if the ballot goes that way.
And Fume, what you and I "think" is irrelevant, it is what the law says that counts and how legal redress can be achieved, and at what cost.
And more to the point, to whom.
