Oh, Island Lover, it's not a matter of being supportive of these actions but more of understanding that any time you travel there can be and often are things that go wrong and this is but one of them. It's all part of the travel experience. Look how many got caught up and stranded in France last year when Air France went on strike.
And while no one can say it with absolute certainty. THERE IS EVERY CHANCE THIS ACTION WILL BE LONG DONE BEFORE YOU ARRIVE WITH YOUR FAMILY. and you're worrying needlessly. Why not wait until tomorrow and if there's still an action going on, you might want to check with your trip insurance carrier and see how they handle trip interruptions.
