But the union still used it as an excuse for industrial

The union didn't use it as an "excuse" for anything. Although possibly they
were
justifiably disappointed that the first recourse of LT management
whenever drivers report a problem who's effects aren't manifestly
apparent, is to suggest that the drivers are lying or making things up.

Perhaps if the drivers didn't cry wolf so often people might actually believe
them occasionally. Sadly those bridges burned and collapsed long ago. They only
have themselves to blame for the publics complete cynicism with anything they
have to say which of course emboldens management. It would seem the unions
and their members are too dim to see the long term consequences of calling
strikes for fatuous reasons. But then I suppose if you're fairly smart you
don't drive a train for a living.
