and we are into the final furlong...
Interesting that CC89 have publicly stepped up the rhetoric. No such move seems to come from the BASSA camp. The big problem the union faces is voter apathy. The dispute has dragged on for so long without resolution. In reality BA don't need to do anything. Even if there is a mandate for strike action, how many cabin crew really want to lose more pay for no real benefit ? I think that the action will fizzle out. Working the numbers. Assume that there are 6000 votes for strike action. If the last ballot and walkout figures were applied this would mean around 3000 would go on strike. There are still some cabin crew members of Unite who didn't go on strike yet are still union members. At this point they may well feel inclined to leave. Anyone know the point at which a union can be derecognised ? From here on on it's a law of diminishing returns,
