I go caught caught in the airline one in 2007 and the rail one in 2008. I don't blame those folks! You gotta strike while the iron is hot. With the holiday season coming - they are striking while the iron is heating up.

I love strikes too, but in the actual very tense climate....well commuters are upsets and it even created violence! In my central France town, I witnessed a fight at the train station between commuters and employees. Police had to come down to stop it!
