If it was me, which it is not, then the protection of the 1% would be a right and just cause, worth IA.

Before the frothing starts, there will no doubt be individuals who would have been dismissed for actions regardless of the dispute in question and I believe Unite would be responsible enough to point that out. The days of you can't touch me are long gone.
So going on strike because someone has been sacked for damaging company property, or taking actions that could impact on the safe operation of an aircraft during the dispute is a "right and just" cause? Do me a favour.

The majority of those who had been suspended and had their cases concluded have not been sacked and have returned to work, so the suggestion by BASSA that the company is engaging in a form of, to use its words, "cleansing" is utter tosh.

Why should be people who, for whatever reason, behaved in an utterly reckless and foolish manner during the dispute be protected from their own stupidity and lack of judgement?

Actions have consequences.
