You don't remember the 1970s do you.

I was in them

In that case you'll recall how industrial relations got so bad that we
had rubbish piling up in the streets, soldiers driving fire engines, and
the three day week.

Compared with that, even bearing in mind the SR thing, we have no real

Several sources point to tens of millions of work days being lost to
strikes in the 70s, compared to hundreds of thousands now.
