Err, if you are going to have a dispute, best to have it when the

The strikes were aimed at their respective employers - what
good did it do to deliberately target their employers'
customers who were nothing whatsoever to do with the disputes?

Because the money a customer pays for that service or goods goes to the
employer. Taking strike action when the trains aren't running to avoid
inconveniencing the public would be as much use as a chocolate teapot.
