Its like unions have nothing else better to do than cause trouble just before Christmas... Qantas engineers, Australia Post, Sydney Buses, British Airways, Eurostar...

Some of it is so they achieve maximum impact - The company is more likely to concede if they're faced with a large customer backlash.

On the flipside, sometimes companies make their hard push just before Christmas knowing the union is likely to be in "holiday" mode, and knowing that the union will be unpopular for taking action at Christmas, and they can just play to the media about that big, mean union disrupting everybodies plans.

Swings both ways.
