Serious question... Is the strike still actually on??

I spent 2 hours this morning listening to the BBC breakfast and then news in my car on the commute and not one mention was made of the strike, not even during the traffic and travel sections. I had to logon to PPRunNe to find out if it was still on.

The impact is so minimal and going un-noticed, is it really worth giving up your salary for?

Still no sign of a picket down here at LGW, did I blink and miss it?

I also have to say the PR coup of having PIMMS and beer available on the picket line, next to the 50k BMW. The Strikers are really going for the public sympathy vote. Maybe if BASSA/Unite approached this with even an iota of business like common sense and with the tiniest view on PR this thing might not be such a farce.

Anyway can't stop, just off to T.W.itt.E.R some confidential discussions, or as it is now called, to Derek. I think I'll Derek the location of tomorrows meeting, see what nutters we can get to crash the party this time! (obviously a joke!)
