#1 77.2 percent of its staff had turned up to work

So the rank and file have returned to work, but some jerks out there inconvenienced millions and still didn't get what they want, so now it's time to be giant assholes. It was railway workers in France that coined the term "sabotage", too.

#2 Interesting sidebar: "Sabotage" derives from the word "sabot", which refers to a wooden shoe. An ill intentioned worker would jam his clog into the factory machinery and, rather conventiently, several other co-workers would also happen to lose a shoe in the process to conceal the true culprit.
