Have you been listening to the Monty Python iconic "Four Yorkshiremen" sketch again....

Sung, no doubt, by the ASLEF male voice choir to the melody of "What a friend we have in Jesus"....
I can try, although I can't sing :
"What a friend we have in ASLEF, or we'd all be deep in s**t, sacked for something like an over-run, forced to drive when half asleep, never get to see our families, can't afford to feed our sheep, treated like the flippin' rest of you, bullied like you flocks of sheep "
works for me, more baritone though I reckon

Not really as simple as you make it. And no one has any sympathy with anyone doing better than themselves, it's pretty much human nature. Or rather jealousy.
Junior doctors are now being called greedy, well paid, holding us to ransom etc in the press and comments pages. And they used to be portrayed as gods in the press!
Public sympathy will never be won during a strike, especially in sectors likely to cause noticeable disruption to other people's lives. But public sympathy isn't needed-that's proved by the fact that no rail strike has had public sympathy but they still happen and often lead to a 'successful' outcome for those striking.
Indeed, in an offline PM, the poster discussed messaged me saying people in his union are facing redundancy and he had zero sympathy for those who are prepared to take action for better wages and conditions ! Thank God for Tolpuddle courage is all I say
