A cc member on their thread answered this question the other day. Said Mr. H can remain until the next election, at which time he cannot stand if he is no longer employed by BA. But until then, he can continue in his position.
Interesting this. He cannot represent CC because he has no access to BA. That makes him useless to their cause and it is absurd that he should be fighting BA on behalf of BASSA. They would obviously listen to him and BASSA less now than they did before!
As for possible further action by BA in the courts. It appears, that at the heart of this latest move is that Unite have called a strike based on the removal of ST and disciplinary matters which is NOT the original reason for striking - thus "making this one illegal." One for the eagles.
