Lotpax: No, and they haven't been asked to.
Safety Concern: You are letting your pro-union stance cloud the logic of this directive. BA has not declared this to be an "cure all and only tool used for cabin temperature". Its to be used in conjunction with other methods.
I've been on flights, and my husband has also, where we were asked to close blinds upon leaving. There is no reason why this request can't be made on a regular basis with a quick walkthrough by Cabin Crew afterwards to close the few that may remain open.
But...that would be an adult approach. Something that seems to be beyond BASSA at the moment.
