It must be such a defeat for some of you as you have been saying for some time that only a handful of us went on strike!
BA could, I'm sure, publish any amount of figures, facts and related information, if they wanted to. But what would it bring to the situation as it stands now? The final offer has been made, some have signed and accepted it, the union has rejected it, or more precisely, 3419 union members have done so. Showing or not showing how many went on strike is not going to add anything of value, or do anything to bring this dispute to an end. BA are probably quite certain what their next move will be, but are under no pressure to reveal it just yet. Can the same be said of Unite, who have held their ballot, got the result and now have to reveal what they are going to do with it?
