Taking away staff travel for striking cabin crew will mean financial suicide for a lot them.
Staff travel is a benefit provided, and not a contractual obligation. This benefit should certainly be withdrawn for every striker. And if it finally knocks some sense into the strikers in how good they have it with BA then all the better.
