I can't believe that BA is continuing to negotiate in good faith with Unite when BASSA has already telegraphed its bad faith intention to scupper. Particularly after what happened between WW & TW last time when Unite reneged after BA had actually made good faith partial staff travel return and other concessions.
Either,
BA is continuing in order to place on record its over-archingly reasonable behaviour should any of its future actions against the Union bring it in front of the Courts;
or,
Unite has indicated to BA that it will deal with its renegade Branch(es) in forcing any agreed offer to be presented to all of Unite's members in a postal vote.
Nothing else makes any sense as BA would just be making itself look weak and stupid which, in its current position, it has no reason to allow.
