Re Interesting Message from Bob Crowe
Radio 2's Jeremy Vine had Bob Crowe from the RMT union on to discuss the recent High Court ruling against Unison, and he made a very interesting statement to the fact that ALL strikes are in fact illegal and a breach of contract in the UK, all a ballot does is to protect workers for a 12 week period from dismissal, and the union concerned from financial punishment from the employer. My question is, was he correct, are there any Employment Lawyers out there in PPruneland who can clarify this?
As ex BA crew with lots of friends on both sides of this dispute, I don't think any of the strikers feel that their jobs are on the line because of their actions in withdrawing their labour, as its "legal to strike". There has been lots of speculation on here and the BA v BASSA thread about this, what is fact please?

PS: Very pro BA, anti BASSA but pro all the great crew who want to make the company a great place to work again.
