The last bit. People/businesses everywhere are struggling to return to normal life after the pandemic and its effects, many having to close down. Then you had WFH, so hardly anyone was commuting to work so we had clear roads and cleaner air, but that meant rail companies losing money, and a lot of people will have now found alternative means to commute, or still WFH, so less income. So what do the rail unions do? Call for industrial action, further damaging their relationship with the commuters. Who is going to keep using trains if the can't rely on them running? If they win a large pay rise who will pay for it, the commuters, that's who, and we are already struggling to cope with higher energy/food Costs.
To me, they are all too bloody stupid to see the damage they are doing to their industry, and if they loose their jobs it's there own fault
