Quite, and.. it's not unheard-of for reliability of services to
actually improve when no-one's mucking about with them!

however during a strike, the strikers will be destroying their companies
network.  Think about a firebomb down a man hole and no one to fix it, bullet
holes through switch gear and the like.  Unions fight dirty.
