If they are so essential than their demands must be met. If not then they can strike for as long as they need to to get a fair deal.
It's hilarious how anti-labour most Canadians are, whenever the teachers, nurses, postal workers, [any public service workers] go on strike, people lose there minds about the greedy workers. All of us, are closer to being homeless and dying on the street than we are to being one of the parasites that get rich of the work of others.
It's because most of us have been abused by employers, teachers, and the system as a whole, and our only model for what an employer-employee relationship is is one where the employee has zero power and does what they're told. This, in turn, means most of us would be awful, toxic bosses, and that comes out whenever we, collectively, are the employer.
I remember when the bus drivers went on strike here, like a decade ago now, or more. The radio call-in shows were swamped with people complaining that they don't get any of the things the union was demanding. Rather than wondering why, or unionizing and striking to demand such things, they just kept telling the bus drivers to get fucked.
We're a society of crabs in buckets.
Hear, hear!

No you are wrong, but the squeaky wheels get all the grease because news media is controlled by those who sign the paychecks, not the workers. Plenty of working class people are behind the rights of the workers to stand up for what they feel they deserve, but we don't get any air time?!
