Ah but ..

Caribbean boy the split will be thus (assuming that Unite turn down the deal)
  • Unite members who are WW on current contract
  • Unite members who are EF on current contract
  • Non union members who are WW on new contract
  • Non union members who are EF on new contract
  • Non union members who are on Mixed fleet contract
The non union people will be anyone who let the union prior to last week. Folk who leave Unite from here on in don't get the option (in theory) to accept the new contract if Unite turn it down. I think that BA will play a flanker here and see how many people leave the union if the deal is not accepted. I wouldn't be surprised if the company didn't then offer any folk who resigned from BASSA or CC89 post any decision on the pay deal the opportunity to sign up to it. It's a fine line between coercing people to leave the union and allowing non-union staff to have a seperate deal.
