'Split into two halves of three' is surely a better way to describe it?

I'm not sure - how does it work out financially any better for them than a six day strike? They lose 6 days pay either way?

I mis-read the article - they are still doing 6 days but causing now disruption to 2 whole weeks rather than 1
