What do BASSA expect to achieve from a YES vote and subsequent strike?
No, Flap33, you haven't missed the answer to that - because defenders of this IA have not yet given the answer! It has been asked many times by several posters here, and
still no reasoned answer. I'm not sure it will be answered, as BASSA don't appear to know
what they want, or to have thought
that far, or to have expected to actually get on with their strike.
The threat of IA appears to be just that - a
threat in the hope that BA would back off. But as many have posted here, their bluff has been called and now some sort of cack-handed face saving exercise is underway - "Oh dear, looks like we will have to ballot ..... what then?"
Unfortunately, that is what you get when the members of a union don't pay close attention to who they are electing as reps, and allowing said reps to play personal power games once elected.
