The time has come and the strike is on.

I normally have some sympathy for the people who feel they are forced to strike - as unions are usually involved, it’s normal that all other avenues have been tried and tested with no success.

Employees will always feel they are worth more than the employer is willing to give, but in order to gain support by striking, the demands must be reasonable - and that’s where the strikers lose my sympathy in this case.
