So.............there is something slightly illogical about this next ballot to restore staff travel and overturn disciplinaries.
For discussion purposes, let's assume for a mo' that 2500 went on strike of the total 9900 or so remaining BASSA members.
Why would any of the members who came to work, did not strike and did not lose their staff travel and might even have been the subjects of harrassment, bullying and the infamous facebook finger pointing incidents by some of these same 2500 strikers, then....
.....vote to go on strike AGAIN (when they didn't strike the first time, even after the previous ballot) to give back perks and reinstate some of the 2500 they clearly opposed by coming into work and ignoring the strike???
It was one thing for them all to vote against imposition. But now Unite is asking the non-strikers to vote............against THEMSELVES!
What the ruddy heck kind of logic is Unite employing with this new rocket scientist gambit???
p.s. It also strikes me that Unite are asking non-strikers to vote "yes" also to provide employment protection for the strikers---the disappearance of which by dismissal would presumably move all of the non-strikers up the seniority lists, ST lists, more opportunities for promotion. Good move Unite. Geesh. "Vote no and get a promotion!" Hoo haw.
