Oh well, "The Winter of our Discontent" was expected!!
1. "Concessionary Travel" ... The travel concession was a
concession, not a right, and employees were warned it would be withdrawn. I personally can't see that one going very far, if at all.
2. "Umin Rites" over the ballots? That's a giggle, surely? IIRC the problem was not 'a dozen spoiled ballots' but that ballot papers were being sent to all and sundry. Some other balloting practices, like not asking LGW CC, might be raised by the BA lawyers.
3. "Breach of Contract" ... now
there's a trick BA missed. Does this mean that somewhere in the documentation is something that says hat the number of CC on a flight is 'contractual'. Or does this just refer to BASSA/Unite insisting that THEY manage the company, and manning levels on aircraft?
I'm glad Unite has an enormous fighting fund for all these actions; it will show the BASSA membership that their subscriptions have not been completely wasted.
I regret I'll be out of the country when this happens [flying BA of course] so I shall be relying on PPRuNe to keep me informed
