What's imaginary about it? It the strikes weren't occurring, GDP would be higher. If you're trying to measure how the economy is performing, then only reasonable to consider artificial and temporary reductions. The rest of the non-striking economy is doing BETTER than the official figures suggest.
If strikes increased GDP, the media wouldn't stop mentioning that. Anything to paint a FALSE picture.
Labour and the Unions must gutted, that despite their actions, the economy isn't in recession.
