Err, if you are going to have a dispute, best to have it when the
effects are minimal? Really?


The poor public were always suffering the maximum discomfort the self-
centred unions could arrrange.

That's why the long-suffering public voted to end this nonsense and got
Thatcher in. Now the UK is practically strike-free and citizens can
enjoy their daily life without being the targets of unions.
Except for those dependent on Southern Rail. Again strike supposedly in
the interests of public safety. Nothing of the sort.
