BA may receive notice of another strike ballot today.
Unite plans third holiday strike, blaming 'vindictive' British Airways | Business | The Guardian
I'm not sure that this is the best way of protecting their members as the issues are:
1. Use of Temporary Cabin Crew;
2. Disciplinary procedures against BASSA members;
3. Demand for return of full Staff Travel privileges.
Rather than demand that their members, following one lengthy round of strikes, undergo another with the associated loss of income, staff travel, etc., why isn't Unite/BASSA asking for a Court to rule regarding the use of temporary crew and staff travel?
Both issues could be heard on their merits without undue pain being felt by members.
As for the disciplinary procedures they have a built in appeals process that can be applied as needed.
It seems as if BASSA and Unite may have lost sight of the end goal, which is to GAIN THE BEST POSSIBLE RESULT FOR YOUR MEMBERSHIP AS A WHOLE. Rather than continuing to try to inflame the emotions of a militant minority with ancillary issues that can be solved in other arenas the priority for BASSA should be trying to gain back as much of the positives as possible that were contained in the initial offer of last year.
