But BA isn’t run by and for the benefit of its employees — very few companies are (John Lewis being a notable exception, I suppose). Unite don’t appear to have either the short- or long-term future of the business in mind; all they seem to care about is preserving existing working conditions and perks for a subset of the BA workforce.
With roughly 90% of cabin crew being union members, 79% of ballots were returned, with 81% in favour of a strike. Which means that roughly 58% of cabin crew voted in favour of striking.
I imagine the working environment will be pretty unpleasant, before, during, and after the strike, with people on opposing sides of the picket line having to work together in an enclosed space.
