Perhaps following "advice" from BA; any "new" strike must be on "new" issues, not connected to the previous strike, otherwise strikers (and Unite) lose all protection from a claim for damages:

... three issues have been set out, slightly differently in each communication, on which you will be basing your ballot. I would like to point out that the three items you advise you will ballot on have all figured throughout this unresolved dispute. Whilst we are carefully examining the reasons for your new ballot, we would like to point out that we believe they are not new items and therefore, you are potentially putting your members at risk.

I would strongly urge you to consider the content of this revised offer carefully before you initiate your ballot. I look forward to hearing from you.
