Do any of you on here feel that it is highly unlikely that a senior reps committee would have 5 of the 7 members (taken from the other thread) up for gross misconduct? Do you think it was reasonable for BA to refuse ACAS as a mediator at the panels (well, if you believe BASSA's statements)]
Why should an exception be made for the BASSA reps (at one time there were demanding that all disciplinaries were dropped)?

The fact that the action taken from disciplinaries varies from no further action, to written warnings, to demotions and sackings suggests that the company is not just looking to sack troublemakers. And the company did suggest that ACAS could be an observer to confirm normal procedures were being followed.

BASSA claim Duncan Holley's sacking was entirely unjustified. Yet the Employment Tribunal had little difficulty throwing out his demand for immediate reinstatement pointing out that he did not have the option to choose when he worked.
