Just a thought concerning possible future strike action.
In the other thread,someone has mentioned how his wife received a letter from UNITE asking her to confirm address, etc, for an upcoming ballot despite her havingleft the union 6 months ago. Now, we all know this will not be an isolated case so my question is simple.
Could BA go to the High Court to get a decree that the upcoming, and any future, ballot and possible strike is illegal, due to the failure of the union to keep tabs on who is actually a member so any ballot will be subject to the possibility of "fraud" due to the ineptitude of the union regarding who is a member and who isn't, and could this give BA the ammunition to move to derecognise BASSA as they clearly do not represent anything like the staff they claim?
That sort of pressure, because of clear failings in the union's admin, etc, could do untold damage to BASSA/UNITE campaign and could force them to put everything on hold until they sorted their own mess out which could lead to more people leaving because of a fiasco created by themselves...........
