The absence of any concerns over withdrawing all current and future legal action over issues arising from this dispute does suggest that Unite & BASSA recognise this to be a fundamental necessity otherwise no such agreement could be reached. Not that AMICUS appear to have understood this however.
On the basis that BASSA still has sufficient vestiges of its old leadership intact to cause continuing trouble then I would guess that BA will not agree to these terms, however, it will have to attend the ACAS talks to appear to be continuing to act in good faith.
BASSA will then have no choice but to go through with its threat and stumble on into an extremely misguided and ill-advised strike that anyone can see at the outset it cannot possibly win. I am surprised that Unite is allowing this to happen on its Executive Council's ticket.
