I read a comment somewhere from a BA employee that it's all about a power struggle within Unite.
If true, I don't blame either the employees or BA for wanting to get shut of them.

BA got no chance until it deals with the union - I can't see any other way but to effectively liquidate BA as it is and sell airplanes, company name, landing slots etc to other companies - possibly completely new that won't have that union there. Maybe that will teach other unions that if they keep company hostage then they'll lose everything.

So who thinks that:
a) BA are eliminating union members
b) the union member has been caught taking the piss using "union" activity as a ruse to make him untouchable.
I think b.
1. Worker is sacked because of non-attendance
2. Worker claims they were not at work because they were on Union Business so it doesn't count
It was train drivers I remember last hearing this one about IIRC.
You would have thought that BA would be very sure of their ground before they took this step but that would require a degree of competence that I have discovered you cannot assume anyone possesses.
