You have summed it all up perfectly. When, not if, there is a call for strike action on Thursday, then surely, Unite or BA will have no choice but to step in and end this NOW. This is now just plain boring and quite frankly someone with power - LM or KW has to now deal with it. Let these people go please and put them and us out of our misery.
My option would be to let them strike KNOWING it was unprotected. Lets see who follows the 'tomato king' then
The other bizarre thing about Thursdays meeting is that Bassa and Amicus are having seperate meetings to vote on the same thing!!. A lot of the Bassa members seem quite happy to allow no more than 10% of the membership vote by a show of hands. Those that cannot attend are saying they trust their fellow strikers to ' do the right thing', whatever that may be, and anyone not happy will, we are sure, stand up and say so. Its incredulous the whole thing.
