The strike is dead in the water. What next...?

Some strikers may stay out but BA are now coping to the point where they can sustain operations with or without them. On a personal note, I know which I'd prefer

Strikers will continue to sneak back into work. Hardliners will carry on regardless At some point the strike will be declared illegal if Unite don't wake up from their state of denial first. If it gets that far the remaining strikers will either go back in or be sacked and BA will seek, and probably get, compensation from Unite. It's hard to believe the union would push such a bad position but, if their rhetoric is anything to go by, maybe they are dumb enough to do so.

Clearly the strikers thought they were far too important for BA to manage without them. Clearly they were wrong. But I think the big dilemna facing BA now is the prospect of having these crew return to work with the puerile mind-set of BASSA.
