BA breaks the log jam?
No, not the snow log jam (though they are doing an admirable job of that now.)
It seems BA has taken the bull by the horns and is breaking the stalemate between BASSA (Unite really) and BA.
Allowing non-union members who left the union between June 25 and December 14 to sign the offer on their own, seems like a good way forward for those who want the offer. And for BA.
BA must have received feedback from their recent survey that moved things forward.
And then allowing Unite members to sign the offer if a "no" vote is returned on IA is brilliant. Their lawyers must have been burning the midnight oil on this one.
It will be interesting, because BA are devising a system by which the most militant are going to self-select and show their colors. If there is a 'no" vote and the most militant refuse to sign the offer that is then given to union members--they have marked themselves out as the core resistors.
Interesting.
