A strike is a classic signal that managment (in this case the government) have failed to negotiate...

That would mean it is the government using travelers as pawns...

This crap is always a matter of perspective innit.

Not necessarily.

True, it isn't necessary, however it is consistently the case as demonstrated below...

Remember the Qantas engineers strike? The wages and conditions they were demanding would've sent Qantas to the wall. They only backed down after Joyce grounded the airline after months of protracted negotiations in which the Unions did little other than to demand more with no promises of better productivity.

Which was Joyce demonstrating management using travelers as pawns...

Qantas was going back to the wall because of outrageous CEO wages and poor performance for said wages...

Further, Mr Joyce played his part in the "protracted negotiations" which he treated as his zone to make demands.

Qantas was not the best example to demonstrate a Union using travellers as pawns to be honest.

It is a good example of employers using their employees as pawns though.
