Not really. You need to check National Rail or TfL (if you're looking to travel within that London) for planned disruptions.

Amazing anyone has money for travel with the cost of living crisis though. Save your pennies for gas and pasta

Not everyone is struggling to feed themselves - yet.

Nope because some of the workers going on strike are the infrastructure guys - so if they don't fix the line while you are sleeping (except if you live next to a line while it is being fixed) then the trains won't be running the next day anyway.

Also, maybe it's time for a grand experiment in which one of those Unions will be sold a railway line for £1 and they can run it anyway they like, set whatever salaries, prices for tickets etc...
