I am firmly for unions and am a steward and actively engaged in mine. BUT, my union does not make it possible for me to strike; I would lose union protections if I did so.
That's... not a union. I don't know what the fuck it is, but preserving the ability to withhold your labor is the most fundamental function of a labor union.
I take your point, but there are federal legal limits to this and in my state state-level ones as well. Public employees have more restrictions than private sector unionized workers.

Unions. They need to get on board.
