If strikers are wearing company-provided and branded items of clothing, could that in fact increase the risk of being dismissed or sanctioned for bringing the company's reputation into disrepute?
With the reports of increased positivity and "operational efficiency" within the context of the industrial action, it could be an interesting study in industrial relations in the future (i.e. if the majority of an "awkward element" of an organisation are more disposed to strike along with other members, is the actual effect lesser than if it was a general uniform strike. The reports from operational crew during strike days are very interesting and it may have wider implications.
