I know this has been discussed before, but can't remember where the discussion got to.

If BASSA lose the court case (likely in my view), but win the ballot (again likely in my view), what's the position regarding the legality of strike action ?

Has Unite formally stated that imposition is the reason for the ballot ? If so, surely, a ruling declaring imposition entirely lawful means that BA could injunct again ? Or is it that actually, in law, a union can strike legally over anything it's unhappy with, whether or not the company has acted lawfully ?

Either way, WW's got BASSA where he wants them. Worst case now for BA's long term viability is an out of court settlement.

These are views held in a personal capacity and do not reflect the views of BA.
