Just back from lunch with a mate from waterworld. The quote that someone has posted about the legality of the ballot is indeed from an email sent to the top managers/directors, I asked for a copy of the email to show "A Lurker" but strangely for some reason my mate declined............. sorry.
Apparently BAs aggressive legal team have found what they believe to be 3 inconsistencies with the ballot. 1 of which they have warned UNITE about.
I guess we will only need to wait a few more days to see the strategies adopted by both sides.
