There won't be a strike. BASSA Reps have been telling crew that they fly with that the next step will be to announce strike dates, then cancel them. Then Re-ballot, round and around the BASSA merry go round until BA gives into their demands.
Ah, excellent! BA's lawyers will be on to that one in a flash. You can't have continuous vexatious ballots, threatening to strike, and then not following up. That is outwith the law!
So, BASSA and Unite have acknowledged that they
can't strike over this anymore - it is all a continuation of the previous nonsense, and therefore has no more strike 'protection' from dismissal. But neither can they endlessly play the 'ballot, call a strike, but don't strike' game either - that will land them in court
again, on the losing side,
again.
The result of all this? Game, set and, match to BA. A final loss for BASSA and Unite! Its all over - you got your arses well and truly kicked!
