BA, Unite dispute number of strikers

From http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/epic/bay/7919230/BAs-Willie-Walsh-rounds-on-union-as-losses-mount.html.

Mr Walsh said the strikers were "less than 5,000 and we know our figures are correct. It would appear that their [Unite's] administrative systems aren't working."

A Unite spokesman hit back saying: "We know the figures because we are processing strike pay and we have already passed the 6,500 mark."
