This should taken into consideration and noted that the BA staff did walk out unoffically but it was for SAFETY REASONS and not neccesarily in support.
If this was true (and it's not a credible explanation as you must know
) then their union would have supported the strike and not sought to persuade the baggage handlers to return to work.
