If the next ballot is solely going to be about the issue of losing staff travel, presumably that means the substantive offer is acceptable to Unite?
So I can't be the only one left wondering why Unite didn't accept the original pre-strike offer last year, avoid going on strike (with all the accompanying loss of pay, bad
PR and hefty calls on union funds), keep everyone's staff travel and living to fight another day.
From conversations around the patch, many non-CC members of Unite are completely bemused by their union. Disillusioned, too.
