Same old (none / 0)
As usual, these quotes from weary travelers pop up in the media upon each train workers strike. Along with such phrases as "travelers being taken as hostages" ("les voyageurs sont pris en otage") and suffering "major hassle" ("galère"). Strangely enough, none of these were in evidence in the media last winter when the train traffic was even more disrupted by freak snow storms or severe flooding.

And pictures of people jumping over the tracks could be taken practically any day in Southern Italy.....

I saw one survey showing support for the strikers has increased since they started. This is only by a few percentage points, and may not be statistically meaningful, but it's consistent with what is supposed to have happened with such strikes in the past.
