So their beef is with the oil companies then? The same oil companies that are able to raise prices quickly when the price of oil goes up, yet are mysteriously unable to lower them quickly when the prices drop?
If their beef is with the oil companies, why are the making the small business people who own a lot of the local petrol stations, and motorists suffer? What about other companies whose businesses may already be in a fragile state, and can't afford to have their vehicles out of action?
After all, it's not as if a lot of motorists have a choice. They either buy petrol, or they can't use their vehicle.
Are the Unions going to compensate all those who they inconvenience? Are they going to compensate those who lose their jobs as a result of this?
Unions do not operate for the greater good. At best, they operate for the good of their members. At worst, they operate as a tool for their leaders to argue with the government.
