Really?
One in four nurses would strike as job fears increase
3,000 council staff poised to strike against cuts
Academics go on strike
More Tube train strikes
Private jail go ahead sparks strike threat

etc. etc. It would seem that many working people are prepared to strike to protect their jobs and working conditions.
We may or may not agree with them, but, that does not alter the fact that they believe they should.
All irrelevant examples - my point had you read it fully was that BASSA demands guarantees and insulation from the future irrespective of what happens to BA, its competitors, the markets etc.

Alll the above examples are simple industrial disputes to protect current conditions with none of them trying to protect current terms in perpetuity.

And the bleeding obvious point that NONE of the above are private company disputes and their jobs are never going to be affected by a competitor company.

So nice try, but 0/10 so please sit at the front of the class this time so you can pay more attention and understand better.
