From DH, on that other thread:
Quote:
Your ballot, when it arrives will also contain a detailed analysis of the document, to help you to make up your mind.

If you wish to accept it the dispute will end on that basis, if you reject it, the union will issue an immediate ballot for strike action."


It will be interesting to see if DH (BASSA) can continue to show his reluctant support for the ballot and not break out with some negative and misleading comments or "spin" thus revealing his true feelings and potentially influencing BASSA members into rejecting the offer. This is precisely why BA have required UNITE & BASSA to recommend the offer.

It could be argued that DH has already overstepped his remit in stating that "if you reject it, the union will issue an immediate ballot for strike action" which from my understanding is not up to him to say and could thus be considered as his first non-supportive and misleading remark as it is not at all certain that the union will automatically and immediately issue a strike ballot in the event of rejection.

Woodley needs to reign Holley in before he says one thing too many and BA cry 'foul' and pull their offer.
