It appears to be highly likely that this online ballot will lead to more IA. So what happens next? I'm sorry if that sounds like a stupid question but BA and BASSA appear to be at a stalemate with neither side seemingly willing or able to back down without losing all credibility and setting a precedent for the future. So what if we get to the 12th June with no resolution? Can BASSA legally call another Ballot on some other grounds? Or are BA likely to invoke SOSR before that happens?
The way I understand it is the 90 day SOSR can be invoked at any time on any department. However after 12 weeks (Sometime in June) from start of industrial action the company are within their rights to sack anyone still involved in industrial action provided meaningful negotiations have taken place.
BA have taken part in meaningful negotiations and even offered re instatement of staff travel.
Whether the company will take such drastic action is unclear but this can't go on forever and June is getting very close..
