How do you come to that conclusion? Surely BA is asking everyone to accept the offer and hence be on just one contract? Are you saying you think BA do not want the union members to vote against strike action?

It seems to me that the company simply wants to allow non-union members to avoid being carried along by the militants who might vote for strike action. BA have promised that any workgroup that costs the company money through strike action, will have that money recuperated through further savings from said group. So far they have achieved just that. They are just changing that statement slightly, and allowing non-union members to avoid having further savings taken from them due to the possible strike action of the militants. It sounds very fair to me. However you most definitely cannot conclude that BA wants union members and non-members on different contracts.
