Musgrave Cork Chill Strike

Well the strike is over, workers back next week having accepted the labour relations rec which is a win for company.. I'm new to boards so this is my first post but would have a fair idea of back round of the dispute. It's quite clear the strikers did not put properly think this out before putting this into this action. in these difficult times job is king. Over 400000 have no job so if you push the nuclear button you need to have the high moral ground. Chill is a hard job days and nights 12 hour shifts so to those working their it's no cake walk. However the rate of pay for that kind of job by musgrave is on the high end of the scale. The jobs in the chill are replaceable with very little training so first mistake by the strikers to believe they were not replaceable was an error, the temp workers most of who were out of work came in and were trained quickley. The fatal error was not to canvass the fellow union members before going out. Ie the drivers and ambient , the go slow to piss off the drivers was crazy stuff. Expecting the ambient and drivers to back them after the nuclear option was hit was unrealistic.It's quite clear the strikers expected the strike to be over quite quickly their idea that no stores would get orders If they were our striking was misplaced , once the first weekend was clear the game was up and the hard work the strikers put in, under difficult weather was null and void. Serious questions need to be asked of those who pushed ahead with the strike. The workers are back next week, the company have won they can push through improvements and the strike has probably opened a can of worms sour feeling will be there . To finish up it came down to when all is said and done their was a pay increase on the table for a job which 300000 people struggling in this country would have done for less , and that is why at the end of the day the strikers failed. It was bad judgement, naive and stupid.
