Interesting comment on the SLF thread on this topic. The suggestion is that Duncan Holley, by stating that if the offer is rejected, a ballot for strike action will immediately follow, may have fallen foul of the conditions that BA put on the deal viz that BASSA and Unite would support the deal and that both would be more restrained in their comms. Moreover, by making this statement the BASSA branch secretary, as an officer of the branch, has failed to also make clear to the membership the likely implications of any strike ballot. So he's cocked up again. Technically BA could now withdraw the offer as BASSA are not acting in good faith. In reality I doubt that they will, but I'll also bet that there will be a kicking going on round the back of the bike sheds.
