the public support for this strike was never going to be strong at any time of year it does inconvenience the public and the public hate anybody who inconvenience them for anything as trivial as workers rights ...untill it's their job on the line

Well, you obviously know trade union rules better than Unite's Derek Simpson, who stated last night on Five Live that the BA workers didn't know the dates when they voted. You can see how well informed the members were by this quote from
this BBC News story:
Quote:
One BA cabin crew worker contacted the BBC to say she was "delighted" the strike had been stopped.
"I voted for the strike but never dreamt it would be for 12 days over Christmas," she said.
"I'm delighted it's been stopped, we have the upmost respect and regard for our customers and I'm glad we have the opportunity to show this over the festive season."
