The vast majority of people wouldn't have the balls to resign and give the jobs to people that would be more than happy to accept them. They know they are lucky to be where they are.

They have a legal right to strike and will do it whenever it suits them. That doesn't mean I, nor lots of people around this country who are taking redunancies, pay and/or hour cuts have to like it or sympathise with them.
