There seems to be a broad consensus on here and the other thread that Unite will not allow a strike ballot. However I am not so sure. The Unite communication (and it is Unite, not BASSA) linked by NL from their website says as follows:
Amongst other things this means that the union and its members surrenders the right to seek permission to appeal against the decision of the Court of Appeal that crewing levels, though collectively agreed and incorporated into the contract of employment, were never intended to be contractually binding. The logic of this decision is absurd. The Court of Appeal accepted that the decision of the trial judge back in February was completely flawed and could not stand. They rejected too BA’s principal argument that an agreement about crewing levels was “not apt” to be incorporated into the contracts of employment. But they held that neither BA or the union negotiators (nor the members) could have intended that crewing levels were binding in spite of the express provision in the contracts incorporating the collective agreements spelling out the crewing levels. In other words they held that we were agreeing that BA could alter the agreed crewing levels unilaterally for any reason at any time. This needs to be appealed.
The litigation section also means that the union to which we all pay our subscriptions agrees not to use those subscriptions to support any legal claims covered by Appendix II - no matter how outrageous or unlawful the situation in which you find yourself. One wonders: what is the point of being in a union then?
That is hardly the communication of a Union enticing its members to accept a proposal. If the union do not apparently want their members to accept a deal, and TW says no better deal can be obtained through negotiation, what else is left other than a strike?
Meanwhile, we've got BASSA, led by sacked and retired BA staff (that cannot be sacked by BA or even lose any wages or ST through a strike) who are chomping at the bit for a strike in a seeming desire to gain revenge on BA for "losing" the last round of strikes.
So my money is still on another strike, despite its utter pointlessness, and likely disastrous consequences for the strikers.
