and the poor ickle nursies, won't they be damaged by this dangerous strike by evil agitators trying to overthrow democracy?
Or should I be reading that as noble downtrodden put-upon staff fighting for their rights against evil exploitative management.

Obviously, this will severely affect the level of service they provide.
