Surely if, as an employee, you perceive that there's a genuine workplace issue then it's a matter of conscience? Am I right to provide implicit support to my employer, whom I believe to be wrong, by breaking a strike; or do I have an obligation to work that's higher than my concerns?
I don't believe you can prejudge the individual's answer to that question without detailed knowledge of the circumstances which, frankly, those of us outside the dispute are unlikely to have. We'll get the tabloid, politics of envy, bate and switch version that concentrates on the high wage packets of the few and ignores whether there's a reasonable case for the lower profile people involved.
As far as responsibility's concerned, it's in the interests of the employer and the shareholders to have a reasonably happy and efficient workforce. If they've got to the point of industrial action, there's a possibility that they've failed in that obligation and it iscould be the action of a responsible employee to take part in action to bring it forcefully to their attention.
