BASSA/Unite have stated many times to members that the strike/ballot will still go ahead no matter what the outcome of the court case. Their reasoning is because the court case is about crew complements being contractual or not. The ballot is being about imposition. Their argument is that it wasn't just crew complements that were imposed, and even if it is non-contractual - BASSA/Unite still need to be consulted and agree to changes first.
''This week it's crew complements being imposed, next week it is allowances'' as they always say.
Forgetting that Pay is indeed contractual and Bill has said this in webchat's that Unite/us would need to agree to changes in pay/allowances.
