It can't be any clearer......The choice is now down to the members........The Union has officially recommended acceptance. People can still argue for or against a yes vote. There is nothing that BA lawyers or anyone else can do to stop that.
Personally I doubt Walsh said anything threatening about the deal. A deal is put there and the Union choose to recommend it or not.....Quite often the company will say the offer is subject to recommendation but never in a threatening way...That would be a sure way not to get a recommendation.
