Christmas travel

Can just ask why so many of the BASSA work force go on so much about working at Christmas?
Here in the real world, policemen, firemen [also many other BA staff] and many others work over the festive season. Surely it cannot be a surprise to be asked to work over Christmas, especially as BA seems to be more considerate than others about recompense for Christmas working.
In the US and many other countries Christmas is not considered to be worth more than a one day holiday, and many of us SLF have to be at our desks on Boxing Day to deal with our over-seas customers.
After all this time I still do not understand why striking BA crew believe they they have a right to better T&C's than anyone else.
