Is it true that Unite/Bassa are now taking BA to court again, this time over Staff Travel being contractual?
Let me try to get this straight, if they win (I know it's unlikely but...) and it's decided to be contractual then income tax is charged as a benefit in kind on the full cost of the ticket.
So all staff, but especially commuters, will have to pay a large amount extra in tax for every ticket they use.
It's not enough that they have negotiated so poorly that they are the only group not to have reached an agreement with our employer, and that their members have therefore had a deal imposed, then lost so resoundingly in court when challenging that imposition, and then not waited to call a strike until their members could decide whether or not to accept a deal from the company which they later decide might have been good enough after all, they also want to muck up staff travel for the very commuters they are supposedly concerned about, as well as every other staff member of BA.
Unbelievable!
