The german train engineers are posed to go on strike over, among other things, a shorter work week and now the country is gripped in fear over "what if they can't run the trains anymore" as if I don't spend at least 30% of my rides standing around a train station that had all the benches removed because a homeless person was spotted 2 towns over once as the train I'm supposed to take just gets cancelled because "the train engineer is sick and we couldn't manage a replacement"

Same with every other public sector going on strike actually. The horror scenario everybody keeps describing if the union gets their way is just a description of things as it is. Imagine if the public servants had to work two hours less, we'd take 15 years to build an airport.
