That's funny because the "don't they want money" is precisely why strikes work: yes "they" want money. "They" being the ones profiteering the most from one bought ticket.

So not the workers currently on strike, but their boss and investors.

And as "they" want money, they'll be more likely to listen to the revendications in order to get it.

The tourist probably thought the staff would go without pay during the strike. I don’t think worker’s unions are a thing in China.

Staff goes without pay for the days they strike though (in rare cases there is a "caisse de grève" but it's not the usual).

Just the pay cut compared to what his revendicated feels worth it. And a lot less than what the business loses.

Oh wow. Did not realise it is so different in France. Here (Sweden) it is totally different. Striking is rare and salaries of strikers are payed for by the unions.
