In a staff forum today WW also went through the 12 week issue. He basically said, or inferred that (a) an employer has a defence to sacking someone for striking 12 weeks after the first action, (b) a number of hoops had to be jumped through by an employer to justify the sacking and (c) in his (and BA lawyers') view, these conditions have been met by BA. He also mentioned the possibility of recruiting new CC.
