However, I struggle to see how you justify your position. Based of figures quoted at the beginning of the dispute, there are about 4000 MF crew with about 2500 in Unite. In the latest ballot 72% (1800) took part and 56% (about 1008) supported strike action. Why on earth do you expect the overwhelming majority who didn't vote to strike to now support the strikers? In a democratic society the logical outcome would be that the 25% would see that there was no real support for their action and go back to work.
To continue the action is selfish and I can understand some of the non strikers being unimpressed by their antics.
