Another thought:
Regardless of what I vote for, if I'm on days off / leave / sick / maternity during the strike, how would BA know which way I voted? This is to do with who they'd take the ST benefits away from if not everyobody.
Sweety, I have been reading a lot about the withdrawing of ST benefits on this forum since the announcement.
The way I understand it is simple. If you withdraw your labour, (break your contract of employment), you will lose your ST benefits.
If I am correct then the terms of which the company judge a person on strike will trigger that response. eg. Not showing for a rostered duty or being sick.
So I think it follows that work normally and you won't be sanctioned.
Oh lord, I think I have just agreed with 'A lurker' on this topic.
Maybe we can find some more common ground?
I am backing BA, are you?
