This is national economy we are talking about here to some extent, and going on excessive strike is just being selfish.

I don't mind a few symbolic strikes here and there to get the point across, but striking weeks on end is ridiculous and everyone knows this, but I really doubt it will come to this so we are hypothesising too much.

This is not 1970's Britain, no matter how much the labour party is trying to force the UK to go back to it.
There have been three days of strikes so far and that is 10% of the entire month of September. That’s hardly unreasonable - let alone abusive - in most people’s books.

Is 3 days not symbolic enough for you or would it just be one day? How about they all went in strike for an hour immediately before departure? Or for 2 hours? Would that be symbolic enough?

As for your last sentence well that is just ridiculous. Let’s keep your politics out of it.
