    People are pissed with strikes, as strikes are inherently selfish, it's saying to the rest of society that the we the workers will not do what we've agreed and are paid to do but instead hold the rest of society to ransom.

    A tad harsh... some strikes kick off because the conditions and pay that the workers agreed to are being changed by their employers, yet no one seems to mind this happening as much.

    I see your point about public service versus private service strikes, though. But at some point you have to wonder: if your (not Gabhain specficially, ´your´ generally) working conditions were threatened, would you strike? Or would you accept the changes? (Conditions, as opposed to pay cuts, which I know a lot people have accepted)

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    You forgot option 3 - get a new job. I think this is what tends to happen in the private sector. People bide their time and move on to newer and better things.
