So why would arbitration be any different? If I read correctly, Unite called for ACAS involvement in proceedings and it is the ACAS code of conduct that ET's use now, to judge if due process has been followed.
Or indeed, to put it another way. Why on earth would BA want to add an additional layer to the cabin crew disciplinary process (as agreed by BASSA/Unite) when the ET and ACAS follow an identical protocol? As it stands every BA dismissal has been approved by the ET. As this is the same as the ACAS code of conduct what on earth is the point of an further tribunal following the same code of conduct? If it goes before an ET it covers the ACAS protocol doesnt it?????
Time wasting?
