Um... I think you'll find that Unite have a duty to advise members of the possible outcome of striking if they think that it might be unprotected.
Bearing in mind the often repeated advise “you can’t be sacked for striking”, I wouldn’t place money on the Union being more accurate on this occasion than they have been on any other.
ST in 5 mins anyone?
Personally my advice to any member of crew considering going on strike would be to gather independent and professional advice on the possible consequences.
I think we can all agree that BASSA is not independent on this matter, I’ll let you form your own judgements with regards to their being professional or not – I certainly have mine..!
