    Yes, but usually they do it by other means as to not driving the bus (or they don't drive the buses only for a limited time within the strike).

    But countries differ a lot in regards what is basic infrastructure.

    (Lol, typo, I meant doctors there, fixed.)

    Nah, they properly strike. The transporation company might try to get some replacements and shift around bus drivers that aren't striking, but it usually means no or greatly reduced service.

      Yes but you have to balance passenger safety. Making air traffic control.subject to politics, which incudes strikes, makes them subject to misinformation which can be deadly. Airline passengers should not be pawns.

      Flyover operating is a reasonable compromise. Ryanair have cut airfares, which depends on cheap staff and cheap destination airports. However, I don't think they've ever had a fatal crash.

      If you think France striking is due to Ryanair, who operate there but not hugely, then lol. Even if they did and were responsible,it's a reasonable point. Bad actors can make a good point and be right. Your goalpost shifting is quite clear.

            Yep, I agree. Yet some things can be kept apolitical when there's a will to do so.
