Appeals
We're still of course waiting for Unite's promised appeal over "contractual" crewing levels so I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for them to appeal this one.
Is there any reason why Unite can't simply re-ballot though? As a further thought, if the last strike was illegal, would it "count" as the starting point for the 12 week clock, or would a new ballot re-start the clock I wonder?
Sadly, given the the intransigence of BASSA, this is far from over in my view.
