The miners have just gone on strike at the plant (~500 km from the station? maybe less, 0g environment) and restricted access to the shuttle dock (by kicking everyone out and shutting the door and setting a group of miners in front of it). So the shuttle dock is a place I don't want them to be herded into. Galley/mess hall maybe, but our boys have to eat. I should draw a map and see what I have to work with.

They're not trying to kill anyone, just take over the plant because management just fucked them over AGAIN, and they've had it. The POV character here isn't keen on it, because he doesn't see it leading to anything productive, but he's out of options.

I've contemplated herding them off the plant and into a shuttle, but the miners would be stuck there without transport & sitting ducks. They can't really overpower the guards, maybe the first few, but not all.

The guards have also been shown not to have any compunctions about attacking strikers for no cause.

This requires more thought than I've put into it so far. :/
