British Airways - CC Industrial Relations & Negotiations

[binsleepen]

I do reluctantly have some sympathy with the view that if you vote no and lose you do have a moral obligation not to undermine the majority of your fellow union members. (Just as a member of the cabinet has to tow the government line if they wish to remain in the government). However just like a member of the cabinet if you don't like a policy or the result of a vote you are free to return to the back benches or in this case resign from the union and continue to work.

There are obviously many CC who are not union members, and therefore had no vote, and should be supported to the full extent of the law to go to work free of threats or intimidation if that is their wish.
