If the planned industrial action is delared null and void then the company risks further action in the run up to the summer-either way not good for forward bookings,employee moral and shareholders.

Time to get round the table and talk ?
I agree that the uncertainty around all of this is and has not been good for morale, customer confidence and moving forward with the business.

I also agree that Unite needs to make an appearance at the table - and soon. But with only 43% of the crew community actively voting "yes" for a strike (less than last time and even less than the time before) it would appear that silence and delaying tactics are all they have left to fight with.

If they need to hold (yet) another ballot, my bet is that the "yes" vote will be even lower.

Its time for the views of the no voters / abstainers / non-union members to prevail within the crew community, and for dissidence to become the exception, rather than the rule.
