"As expected the BA rumour machine is now in full swing in an effort to
undermine your resolve for next Tuesday's commencement of strike action.

So we would like to put a few things straight. This strike, despite what
BA are saying, remains about imposition. All the extra things now on the
table like redeployment etc have been added by BA since we went on our
first strike.

The 12 week period when you can take industrial action without BA having
the legal right to sack you, ends on June 12th. This strike finishes
before that date so you are all still protected by law.

Finally WW has said he has been available for talks at all time,
Available? Well who isn't and so he should be, but he has had no intention
to enter into anything with any sort of integrity or conciliation motives.
Over the last 12 weeks all the initiatives to commence or re-commence
talks have come from UNITE. Walsh appears not interested in a peaceful
settlement, preferring it seems instead to dig the hole he has dug even
deeper. We hate to say this but right now anything any manager tells you
please take with a big pinch of salt. "


oh right...sorry a bit confused....so the strike remains about imposition apart from in the last couple of weeks when it was about loss of ST and CC disciplinaries ? ...
