I've been quite surprised by how the various stations have handled the strike. Normally in this scenario, you'd expect neighbouring stations within a region to join together, but we had the strange situation yesterday when Radio Sheffield managed to stay local all day with their regular line up, but Leeds and York took semi-nationally networked fare (including Leeds taking the Jim Davis pre-rec two days in a row).
Is that local management, not being able to officially support the strike, doing the bare minimum to mitigate its effects, or could the talent at Sheffield have said "I'm not in the union so I can't strike, I'll come in and do my normal shift but I'm not prepared to cover for striking colleagues by being networked"
