Sigh..and I was just going to go and indulge in a good book.
Thank you sooooo much LD..looks like I'll do some reading of another sort :) |
That can't be to obtain an injunction can it? Unite hasn't announced strike dates yet.
|
Hmmm...is there precedent for moving to restrain a union prior to the announcement of strikes based upon a faulty ballot?
|
In what appears to be an increasingly bitter battle, the British Airways plc v Unite dispute will go to trial at the High Court in March. BA is claiming damages in respect of the strikes in March last year.

I believe BA has already been awarded legal fees as a result of Unites suit over imposition. Unite may be getting a little tired of pursuing BASSA’s agendas irrespective of Red Len’s ranting. Unite’s funds for legal activities may become a little stretched. I wonder how anxious Unite will be to pursue all the individual Industrial Tribunals and claims for pay.

There is now a "not before 11:30" case
What does TLQ mean in TLQ/10/1012 - I understand that "10" means 2010 COURT 22 Before MR JUSTICE LANGSTAFF Thursday, 3rd February 2011 At 10 o’clock Non Jury List TO BE MENTIONED TLQ/10/0410 De Bono v Wellcare Nursing Home Not before half past 10 APPLICATION NOTICE TLQ/10/1012 British Airways Plc v Unite The Union Not before half past 11 FOR HEARING OF APPEAL QB/2010/0463 Wright v Island Homes Housing Association Ltd |
No news from the court today it seems. And it is claimed there is a "lock down" on the BASSA forum on the topic and the legality of the ballot in order to avoid prejudicing any litigation.

BA strike on Royal wedding? Legal challenge launched to outlaw cabin crew | Mail Online
Some information here. |
Stuff Len and the rest of them - booked BA to ORD end of February - with luck it will be a strike day. :D And the icing on the cake is its 744 on the way back! :)
Roger. |
And the icing on the cake is its 744 on the way back! Bet it doesn't take a week to get ORD fully functional, unlike LHR! Have a good one. |
a waiting game
The travelweekly is not a source that I automatically look at, but nevertheless they say this
British Airways has denied a report in the national consumer press that it has launched a legal challenge to outlaw fresh strikes by cabin crew. BA confirmed it has merely written to union Unite and to the body which oversees trade union votes, Electoral Reform Services, to express concerns about the recent ballot in which cabin crew voted to renew strike action. A BA spokesman said: "All we have done is highlight our concerns about how the ballot was conducted. We are in dialogue with Unite and Electoral Reform Services." The spokesman said BA was still in the process of trying to arrange a meeting with Unite officials to try to reach a settlement. |
Regarding the latest ballot, none of the challenges should come as a surprise. We already have a legal precedent for the balloting of non union members resulting in an injunction and BA raised the issue of a new ballot being linked to the previous dispute over six months ago.
Why can't BASSA maintain an accurate membership database and why is Unite only seeking legal advice now? Also, the smearing of the PCCC continues. . LATEST NEWS UPDATES |
Must have touched a nerve, that page is now blank.
A bit like the BASSA 'what do we do now' book. |
It works on my computer:
