Manintheback I think you are right. WW is fearless here. Furthermore I think he will sack these people not for going on strike
but for an "irretrievable breakdown in the working relationship". Given BA have tried to engage I don't think he will have too much of a problem on this and it is a valid reason for dismissal.
However even if he fails on this and is deemed guilty of unfair dismissal at tribunal does he care about the nominal payouts he will have to make at some distant point in the future? I don't think so compared to what he will save on the T&C's of these people now. And let's not forget about the huge hold pool of prospective CC BA has. None of which have any T&C's to date....
I could be wrong of course but in the meantime BA are fast loosing custom and I have just guarenteed my Xmas.....by booking with another carrier.
Are there any real winners here
