Absolutely staggering in my opinion - we are taking part in a lawful dispute.
Are you absolutely sure? BA doesn't seem to think so and so far their lawyers have been notably effective.

Given that a verdict is unlikely before the beginning of the strike, are you going to go walk out knowing that you may potentially be striking illegally and can be summarily dismissed if it is proven to be the case?

Equally relevant. If BA win this injunction, anyone who took part in the earlier strike will also have taken part in an illegal strike and runs the risk of being summarily dismissed.

BA have wanted rid of the militants since the beginning. That they would achieve it was never in dispute, although how they planned to do it was subject for discussion. This is how they will do it.

So wwcrewmember, will YOU go on strike on Tuesday?
