Given that the numbers of CC union members in Bassa/Amicus/Unite seems to be an unknown/flexible quantity - I wonder what the effect would be if BA announced a payroll system enhancement, due to take place on the 1st April for the new tax year, which had as an unfortunate side effect, an inability to continue paying members fees to unions.
The announcement being made on the 1st January, to allow the unions time to make other arrangements. Any estimates as to how many members would drop out by default? and how could any union or branch then make any calls for IA without months of preparation - no more instant strikes.
With apologies Tightslot - but I always thought that Pedants hung around ladies necks and Pedantry was something to do with Sexual Devients - but memory is a fragile entity at the best of times and I never could spell!
