I agree with your sentiment but I think we should cut CNBC some slack here since the demands were only vaguely communicated by the syndicate ("improved wages and fairer working"), most likely because the negotiation is still ongoing.

What they could have mentioned is that the pilots strongly back the the strike with 96% of them voting for it.

One could look in to the circumstances that led the workers to feel the need to strike.

That would require proper journalism though.

IIRC one of the biggest complaints was that their workers in other countries still have to work under Irish labor laws which includes less holidays and PTO than they would deserve under laws of countries they actually live in.
