Every strike is like that. Media harps on and on about how workers striking is soooooooo terrible for you and they barely say anything about the terrible working conditions people face that they are trying to negotiate out of to do their job with pride.
"Oh noooooooes your widget is going to be delayed!!!" - most delivery or transport workers strike
"Your passport is going to take longer to arrive" - service canada strike
"Things are going to be more expensive for a bit with some shortages" - rail, truck, dockworker, farmer, metalworker, other producer strike
"Your children will be out of school" - teacher/education worker strike
These are real impacts but they are always hyped up front and center every strike.
