Thank you LD12986 for your intervention._ You are basically correct._ The grand total who accepted voluntary redundancy was 993._ The Court decided on 17 December 2009 that the last two instalments of these (amounting to 811) had incorrectly been sent ballot papers._ The consequence of this that the "2,500" figure needs to have 811 deducted plus a deduction for attrition of membership numbers._ Your figure of 1,500 "walking away" is a reasonable estimate - I would think of 1,200 which is so very similar to your estimate that I don’t disagree with your estimate.
Thats always assuming that the membership records are correct and Unite have 10200 CC members in BA. I've flown with plenty in the last couple of months who arent Unite members (and havent been for 5 years in one case) and yet got sent ballot papers for this last ballot and are thus included in the 10200. It seems to me that we (including Unite and BA) have no clue what the Unite CC membership is or how many have left.
