Will bassa explain the risk in any new ballot?
BA have made it clear that they believe that the proposed grounds for a ballot might lead to a strike which is not protected by current legislation.
If bassa run a ballot, which gains a majority, and asks its members to break their contracts via a non-protected "strike", then each individual member has foregone their rights to protection for breaking their contracts. They can then have any action taken against them that their employer can dream up - including losing their job, and being sued for the costs incurred due to their withdrawal of their labour.
Will bassa forewarn their members of this risk?
(Pigs might fly)
To any lawyers out there - if bassa do not forewarn their members of a risk that they should reasonably have been able to anticipate, and therefore warn their members about, can they be sued?
It might be worth someone's time and effort to strike in an unprotected strike, lose their job, and then sue Mr Holley for damages......
