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

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.

You really don't get it, do you? Commuters have to get to work
12 months of the year - not just in the months when
temperatures frequently didn't get above zero for several days
at a time and wind chill made it even worse.

The public would have been inconvenienced if the strikes had
occurred at any time of year, so why deliberately choose the
time of the year when you know that you are inflicting maximum
pain and misery on the public?
