I'm slightly confused by the latest Unite position.
From what I can see, there could be two reasons.
1. It's part of a plan to help them fight a legal challenge from BA assuming they get a yes vote (ie demonstrating they fully consulted without giving the membership a steer etc).
2. They are squeezing BASSA into submission in the hope the workforce will vote to accept the offer.
Whilst I would like to think option 2 was happening, I can't see BASSA taking it as quietly as they currently seem to be doing? I therefore suspect it's more likely to be option 1.
It will be interesting to see what the detailed pack of information supporting the ballot contains, but I'm very sceptical about the noises currently coming from Unite.
