Unfortunately I don't have the words for the 25 January - 22 February 2010 ballot

This 2009 quote is historic but the bold sweep of it would appear to prevent any subsequent strike until both sides agree that the 2009 dispute is ended
The ballot of BA’s 14,000 cabin crew will open on Monday, November 16th, Unite the union has announced.

Unite says that BA’s continued failure to consult properly on 2,000 notified redundancies and the company’s determination to impose fundamental changes to working practices, work organisation and terms and conditions of employment leave it no other option but to ballot the cabin crew workforce.
This 2009 phrase looks to me like a catch-all phrase
. . impose fundamental changes to . . . terms and conditions . .
Maybe Unite has been caught-out by their own words?
Why blame BA - they didn’t dictate what words Unite should use?
(I have no knowledge of Labour Relations Law)
