Unite say they will ballot 'on staff travel and disciplinaries'. They also say they need the new ballot to extend the legal protection period for the strikers.
But, I thought that, in the spirit of preventing strikes dragging on indefinitely, any further ballot would be invalid if deemed an extension to an unsettled dispute.
And I think Unite will have trouble there because BASSA have insisted on tagging the ST and disciplinaries onto the 'acceptable' part of the current dispute, thereby making a link. Unless they accept the deal on offer and go back to work in the meantime, I doubt they'll have much chance of making this new ballot stand up.
