Just a thought...

Unless the CoA repeal yesterdays ruling, then the last ballot was illegal, so BASSA will have to re-ballot (the process taking about 1 month) before they can take further strike action.

Now as I understand it, only BASSA can call off strike action, but to issue a ballot for that action they require the approval of Unite.

If I read the situation correctly, there is little love lost between BASSA and Unite, with the latter getting rather tired of BASSA'S antics. After all, TW said only a ffew days ago that the items of substance had been agreed with BA, just leaving the disciplinaries and ST (which WW had agreed to deliver in part).

So the question, do we think that Unite will agree to BASSA conducting another costly ballot? I vote no.

...As I said, just a thought.
