The metro in Lille is completely automatic, but is monitored by CCTV

What stops the monitor monitors from going on strike every time the

Every time there's a strike on the Paris Métro (which is quite often),
the driverless Line 14 always runs a normal service. Maybe there are
enough non-union managers to staff the control room on those days.
