miners strike
Not for comparison.
The company could not financially remain solvent for that period of time, the reserves would be used for whatever transitional period occurs through winding up, furthermore, this strike is over petty reasons and is only supported by the minority, who now expose themselves for what they really are.
If they think they'll have support on being given their P45's (a real possibilty) in the wake of this, they're beyond deluded!
