Any reasonable person would say that there is now absolutely no reason for this strike to take place. A concerted effort is being made by several parties to try to sort out the problems.
The union headbangers are going ahead just to justify their existence and prove a point and, as a further threat, have stated that they will be meeting to discuss further strike action which shows that they have no regard for anyone or anything but their own deluded self-importance. The workers will be the losers. The headbangers will collect their nice big salaries as usual while the poor workers will suffer the ignominy of losing some of theirs. If the staff had any gumption or self-respect they would stop this strike threat now but we know they haven't got the liathróidi and would rather be led like sheep by their lords and masters.
