..from LD12986 in the CC thread:
DH:
and the original problems have not been solved...So this dispute will carry on and on
LD:
Another strike, to have any hope of withstanding a legal challenge, has to be based on an entirely new set of issues. Comments from Duncan like those above will be seized upon by the lawyers.
It's a good spot. And significant I think, coming as it does in a demi-official communication from BASSA. Although I'm sure BA will pursue all avenues, I don't think BA would have to mount a legal challenge to capitalise on this particular issue. I think BA will warn potential strikers that they aren't protected, sack any that do strike anyway and fight off any unfair dismissal cases arising. Perhaps?? Based on the way they went about the ST and sicky issues.
