My personal opinion is that the timing is too close to >the strike to not be a disgrutled employee. It is very rare for unions to encourage or know of any activities like this by individual members. Unfortunately, people who already have strong anti-union sentiments use incidents like this to cast shadows on unions and union activity in general. Management has done these type of things far more often than unions, just to try to make unions look bad, which helps management to break unions and further exploit workers.
