I also think that WW has his dander up and ANY strike of ANY length would result in a form of 'lock-out'. The phones would be ringing the week before and anyone not stating they would be willing to work would just be told that there was no work for them after ANY instance of strike.

The justification would be that the company would have to go through the disruptive process of changing schedules and getting all the thousands of volunteers into place. Too much hassle to chop and change.

Oh, by the way .... any strikers that then decided to come back to work after any strike would not be getting paid since they would still be deemed to be 'on strike' due to the disruption they had caused.

Negotiated settlement - not on bassa terms.

WW needs to ensure that the bunch of militants that have caused problems over the years do not do so in the near future. The moderates need to regain control of bassa and ensure that the future is about meaningful negotiation, rather than the constant shouting 'no, no, no - what's the question!'.
