What is the upcoming strike about?
Some would argue it's what the court case is all about.
Partly true - but not entirely accurate.
The court hearing was about whether BA breached the individual's contract by removing a crew member off the aircraft as the crewing levels were - according to UNITE - contractual.
The strike ballot is about the PRINCIPLE of imposition - imposing things and in this case it's about removing a crew member without negotiations. The court voted in favour for BA and even if it was perfectly legal to remove a crew member UNITE - and many crew - feel they shouldn't have done it without asking them for "permission".
