strike action ncl

I dont really get your point John. Not turning up for work and mounting a peaceful picket IS a strike. A strike cannot work unless it has the potential to hurt the employer. The employer in this case carries passengers,so it is inevitable that they are affected. Picking a busy time for a strike is the most effective way of winning. It is obviously a waste of time striking at a slack time,as this could no doubt be covered by non union workers,who,incidentally would gain from any benefits achieved by the strike. I do not know the circumstances at ncl,and therefore have no opinion on jusification for the strike.
