Unite ballot – Cabin crew reject BA offer

The figures are more telling than the actual result as trumpeted by Unite. Out of 11,000 cabin crew, who are members of the Unite union, Just 3,419 voted to reject and 1,686 to accept the offer.

But 5895 Unite cabin crew members either abstained or could not be bothered to vote.

Which makes the rejection of the BA offer completely ridiculous, if Unite intend to hold further strikes based on this poor turnout that would stand democracy on its head…

The rejection means that Unite is likely to ballot members on further strike action but any further walkouts will not take place until after the summer.
