I found it funny this past weekend that some of my neighbors were unaware that a strike was taking place. Their garbage is still being picked up so they didn't notice anything wrong.
There was a similar situation where I live about five years ago. The city went on strike, but they kept most services going and I think most people didn't notice a difference. Eventually the workers caved and accepted the deal they had been offered.
