Actually, what I said was the the union was sending a message to management, showing that they still have the power of collective action behind them. With their contract negotiations coming up soon, this puts a little more weight behind their bargaining position.
Ending the war was just a convenient hook to hang their strike on, and it was good PR in today's political climate, but it was a complete misdirection.
