Yes, and as a less desirable act, rather than a no vote and alot of folks moving forward with a new contract, BA could probably go back to court, if there is a yes vote.
There have been quite a few messages elsewhere already about ex-union members having received their ballots, which they say they are taking to their managers for their information.
Not sure if receiving a ballot is a violation, if the ex member does not vote. But courts decide that, it seems. But if the ex members all decide to vote, when they are not entitled to, and the vote is "yes" surely BA will return to court for a groundhog day visit.
Reviewing the 5 strike ballot issues from the Unite memo, it's hard to see how all of these are "new." But perhaps Unite's lawyers have assured the union they are covered by law.
Except for Mixed Fleet, it's all related to the last strike tangentially isn't it?
After reading some of the culty messages from the other thread, it's like seeing the ghost of Union Future. Why do I see some of these folks in a few years, confused, unemployed but still thinking they need to find the CRC, shuffling around T5 in their bathrobes and slippers, unkempt and muttering "keep the faith keep the faith, holocaust, iwo jima, where's the tomatoes? where's my Pimms....no hot towels no hot towels" as they are led away by a sympathetic customer service person.
