If the ATSAs choose not to come to work on their days off duty and delays occur due to staff shortages then that is their right.
There is a Chinese curse which says "May you live in interesting times" and I think that might apply to many ATCOs and students. There will be massive pressure from the management on all atcos to work understaffed and threats applied to students and ATCOs to do ATSA tasks.
I would like to think that Prospect will brief its members on their rights and responsibilities given such a scenario.
