Perhaps you'd define the job of a trade union? To make life best for you?
Or perhaps the employers?

Countless strikes in monopoly public sector services designed to
cause the public maximum discomfort attest to that.

Takes two sides to cause a strike.

No it doesn't.
People can strike for any reason they like and it may have nothing to do
with their employer as was seen in previous strikes where some unions
called out members in other industries.

The law attempts to stop this but there is still the option of
"unofficial" strikes.
