I was going to make this exact point but you beat me to it. Inconveniencing your employer, costing them money and disrupting their operations is one thing. Downing tools and walking out with 5 minutes notice is another entirely - then you're not only hurting your employer, you're hurting your customers and driving away future business which makes no sense.
If this strike had been organised sensibly I might have had sympathy for the Belgian workers - but now I couldn't care less about their plight, and I'm not angry at their government or employers. I'm angry at *them* - the workers. It's a spectacular own goal.
