This ain't working,
No, wrong, it looks like it worked , they might get a 4/2 shift system like most of the rest of Europe as a result of this action.
just annoying workers just like you
That is the whole point of industrial action I'd say. If an action does not have any impact , you won't get anything.
Remember that next time it might your turn to follow a Union action to defend whatever you think is important for you and you will certainly annoy a lot of people as a result.
I 'd love to still be around then to read your arguments.
