AtlasDrawer,
There is plenty of hard fact on this thread regarding dismissal. BA can sack you for striking if it so desires. However, if the strike ballot is legal it would be considered automatic unfair dismissal.
You will have to wait, jobless, until you get your turn at a tribunal where you can be awarded a sum of money which by the sound of it could be something akin to a few months salary. BA are under no obligation to reemploy you.
The OH Parsons spokesman deliberately avoided answer the question which was "can we be sacked?". The answer is simply YES.
He also said it would cost BA a lot of money.
However, a costly strike would cost BA a hell of a lot of money, so the use of this term is pointless, deliberately vague.
All of the information you need to inform others about the risks of unfair dismissal and the likely payout can be found in previous pages.
BASSA have continually deceived their members with evasive and incomplete answers to this very simple question.
