Air traffic controllers, like the army and certain other “essential to public safety” vocations, are not allowed to strike.

  No one is allowed to strike. LOL It's war, where all is fair.

    I suppose in that sense, the question is whether the government is taking sides.

    > Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act states in part, “Employees shall have the right. . . to engage in other concerted activities for the purpose of collective bargaining or other mutual aid or protection.” Strikes are included among the concerted activities protected for employees by this section.

      Does that supercede this? > An individual may not accept or hold a position in the Government of the United States or the government of the District of Columbia if he— > (3)participates in a strike, or asserts the right to strike, against the Government of the United States or the government of the District of Columbia; or https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/5/7311 https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/5/7311 I'm guessing no since the firing wasn't challenged.

      Federal employees are not regulated by the NLRA but rather the FSLMRS. The FSLMRS explicitly denies the right of all federal employees from striking or even discussing a strike. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Service_Labor-Management_Relations_Statute https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Service_Labor-Manageme...
