Atlas Shrugged is not about a "strike" meaning the thing unions do. When a union strikes they are saying, "We aren't going to work, and you can't replace us either, just shut down until you give in to our demands." In Atlas Shrugged, people quit and leave and make no specific demands at all. They do not care if they are replaced and they aren't using it as a negotiating tactic.
