What are their demands (more or less exactly)?
It's always easier to defend those workers when we know their demands are reasonable (which most of the time, they are.)
From their strike notice:
Still a bit vague, but I hope it's more useful when negotiating.
If you say we want XX% raise it focuses the discussion too much on numbers and sometimes doesn't address the true source of the problems
