Hello Winstonsmith

Talks to continue with the company - no dates for strike announced - BASSA convinced they have the upper hand because of the outcome of the ballot.
I don't get it!!
I am missing something, the facts are more than half the cabin crew did not pursue claims against the company in the high court.
The ballot result represented approx 64% of ballot forms sent out being returned with a 'yes'. (11691 sent out and 7482 back with a yes).
That leaves approx 35% doing one of the following: Voting 'No', not taking part in the ballot for what ever reason or a few ballot papers being spoilt.

There are also a growing number of us who are not in a union.

I don't think this represents solid ground.

(My views not my company's or any other party).

To Anotherthing.
Just read your post above. You're correct about applying for an extension, however I think the company have to agree to that.
Any legal eagles confirm please?

Just done my own research, the employer has to agree to any extension.
The only other exception is if there is a legal process underway. (court hearings etc).
