I think that most people have realised in the past few years that the biggest losers in any strike are the strikers! How many people can afford to lose a full weeks wages? How long will it take to make up that loss? I took part in a strike at British Aiways in the 70's and it played havoc with the family finances for at least 12months. The Union bosses still swanned around in their Union cars, coming to the mass meetings to whip up support for the strike that didn't affect them.
