The thing is, Labour have a history of offering at best limp support of the trade unions during strikes. I mean, the RMT formally split with Labour nearly 9 years ago.
At this point its almost a Labour thing rather than a Starmer thing. Personally speaking I thought his position of supporting the right to strike but not intervening in the strike negotiations at all was the right way to play it. If he went in all guns blazing on the side of the Unions the tabloids would have another wedge to tap in before the next election.
