which is why we are to appeal the recent High Court decision to allow BA to impose widespread changes to crew without consultation."
is this the new threat by the union to make WW reconsider.
to me, it looks like the union are dragging their feet deliberately, (by not calling the strike and now by saying they will appeal the judgement) to try and force a further imposition, as that is the only way they have left to try and regain the moral high ground.
i think even the top of BASSA must realise they cannot win as things stand, but if they can keep putting things off WW will eventually have to impose further terms to ensure the savings are met, and that will give them the chance to either call a strike on more realistic grounds or wriggle out when the members finally realise that they hold a busted flush and refuse to back a strike.
whatever happens next, you can be assured that the main priority of those at the top of BASSA is to protect as best they can the interests of the members at the top of BASSA.
