Result is that you achieved your result but didn't have the work stoppage but everybody knows there was a strike called.
Or am I giving the Union a competence that they don't have ?
I like the idea, but if the union were crafty enough to plan this deliberately, surely they'd also be smart enough to know that it'd make them look so entirely incompetent they can't even organise a strike, to say nothing of being so bone-headed they wouldn't even call it off when an expert panel had been appointed (which was the obvious way out rather than having their competence questioned).
So I'm voting for cock-up rather than conspiracy.
