I wonder if that's a deliberate attempt to sidestep another BBC News impartiality row when this strike is over and tomorrow's 6.30s need to interview union reps in other sectors about the inconvenience their strikes have caused to the public?
Although ignoring it isn't impartial either. It didn't need comment, just an inclusion in the round up of who was on strike that BBC local staff were included, impacting local regional news. After all they sent out about 50 million alerts about Football Focus not airing at the weekend - and the regional news is generally the most watched show on the BBC each weekday, and rates better than MOTD too.
