A common union-busting technique is to give non-union employees a surprise raise that you withhold from union employees, even though you wouldn't have given the raises out if the union weren't there in the first place.

Despite deploying a contingency workforce of fully trained non-striking and non-union back-up staff, Network Rail was forced to issue a limited timetable with only 20% of services running on June 21, 23 and 25.
