If, unlike BASSA, another branch actually has a good reason to strike, then they'll presumably win and make return of their staff travel a condition of returning to work.

The reason why BASSA aren't getting their staff travel back is because there was so little justification for striking that there was no way they could win; they couldn't get enough of their members on strike to cripple operations and they managed to turn the rest of the company against them by striking over such a minor issue. I doubt any other branch would be striking in similar circumstances.
