Just picked this up from flyertalk.com:
Spoke to a CC yesterday evening, who has been on strike during previous rounds, but she's going to be working during the next rounds. She told me that they've been promissed reinstatement of staff travel if they don't strike this time, though it'll take a month or so to process.
Certainly news to me, if it's true. And while I can see some kind of logic in it, the damage was already done by strikers in the first round so as far as I'm concerned, the price still has to be paid.
