Well slimwilly, I'm a misguided fool, about what? And how the hell has it got nothing to do with the unions. The unions are a collective.
Basically what you are telling me is that anyone employed in any capacity that may affect you has no right to strike. That means that nurses, fireman, train drivers and the like will have to suffer financial hardship and deteriorating conditions just so they don't inconvenience you.
I agree that the unions in the 70's had far to much power and behaved irresponsibly. However I don't want to return to tugging my forelock and being totally subservient to the employer like it was before the Trade Union movement began.
You should lighten up a bit, we all have to suffer but A days train strike isn't the end of the world.

Never underestimate the ingenuity of an idiot!
