Indeed, and Mrs Thatcher laid the groundwork carefully.

1983: Build up coal reserves
1984: Miners strike
So using that as a basis, how should TPTB engineer a confrontation with
Comrade Crow's mob, and achieve total victory?
Simple. With the majority she enjoyed in the commons she could push through
the sort of legislation that I mentioned in another post legally limiting the
number of strike days per year to a rather low number. Wait for morons in RMT
to break the law then inflict massive fines on said union until they capitulate
or even better it goes broke and is dissolved.
Just say, "if customers are unable to procure similar services at
similar prices elsewhere, then they may collectively sue which ever
party (the company, or the unions) has refused binding arbitration,
since said party is responsible for the strike."
A nice balanced piece of legislation that is aimed at both management
and unions. who could object?
