    Going on strike is a federally protected action. Anyone can join a strike. What’s illegal is secondary strikes, which still happens all the time because unions know how to work around those capitalist laws

      What does that matter? Feds break the their own law every day, trust me they won’t stand up for people’s rights to strike, are you kidding?

      It’s like “protests are federally protected”. What they do is shove all of the protesters in a sidewalk cage, squished together. IF you’re lucky.

        It matters because we are the out group for which laws apply. The law is not just, but it’s another tool on our side.

          Laws only apply to the out group when it is convenient for those in power. If you get fired for a general strike I can guarantee you’re gonna go through a legal process that is either completely unaffordable, or so long that the average American won’t be able to live through it without losing housing or food.
