The strikes hurt the wrong people. In fact, not running the trains actually saves money for the company.
So to hurt the right people, they should publicly announce that the service will run as usual but no tickets will be checked that day whatsoever.
What...? Stinking is legal, what you say would be sabotage at least, extortion at worse.
The ticket inspectors are allowed to strike—the drivers don't have to as well
The train guards are the ones who check the tickets, do the announcements etc. the drivers went on strike a few years ago (and maybe partially now too?) to stop them being fired. They can't run trains without them.
