Just seems odd, you apply for a job, accept the job offer and contract, and then at a later date decide you aren't happy with the contract. But rather than leaving the job, you leverage government laws to force a higher salary by threatening disruption to the general public. It's extortion in...
Christmas time, always a great time to maximise collateral damage and use that leverage to get a pay rise.
"Last resort", hilarious. Surely if you have an issue with the job your last resort is, by definition, quitting.
