And The Strike Achieved What, Exactly?
A headache for the incumbent Labour government only 6 weeks before an election.

The union, Unite, has over 2 million members and by way of Labour party constitution has an enormous say in how Labour operates, who the Labour leaders and candidates are

Charlie Whelan, a leader of the union, was Gordon Brown's press secretary for 7 years and is still regularly seen in Downing St.

A headache for a Labour government when polls clearly show public support for the industrial action is low.

On the positive side there have been very few dalays inbound and outbound from Heathrow
