I'll be caught up in this as SLF coming back into LHR early on 31 Dec. I'm crossing my fingers that they won't be cancelling long haul flights and that the ePassport gates will be working flawlessly!!

Who pays Mr/Mrs Border Force's Bills?
I'll admit to being puzzled here.
Border Force force go on strike for 10 days. No pay for them.
Mr /Mrs Border Force (being very woke' here) at home wonders where the money is going to come from to cover up to two weeks with no money coming in to feed the kids, the family and pay the bills.
Even worse case for Mrs Train Driver.
10% pay rise will barely cover their lost income. So what will they do to retrieve that situation? I guess go on strike for even more pay.
Is it just me or - - - -

The incoming will (usually) be compensated by union pay-outs, union savings from previously paid union contribution.
The income gain will benefit for the whole future, vs. the "just once" costs.
The income gain will work through in percentage for future gains (call it compound interest, and you'll get it).

It's just you, your reasoning does have some serious flaws.

It's not all about the money. Train drivers are not the ones going on strike or demanding a 10% pay rise. Its the much lower paid ancillary and maintenance personnel that are in dispute. These strikes are far more complex than the media has been portraying. EG. They plan to close all train station ticket offices.

I doubt it. Some basic research suggests a Border Force officer, once security vetted, requires at least 3 months of training to be operational. And another 3 months to be fully trained in everything. I'm guessing, like anything of this nature, it's the years of experience that make the difference in being efficient and effective.
