A good friend of mine got abuse from some union reps when nurses were on strike and she had to cross the picket line to work in A&E to provide the cover that had to be there and was agreed by the unions. Personally I don't see why unions have to be as hostile as they are. You can make an equally good case while remaining civil.
The problem is, if everyone has that attitude then the strike is pointless. It only works with strength in numbers.
I believe the union are paying the drivers during the strike action anyway if I'm correct.
