This feels very counter-productive. Sure, an argument could be made that certain services are essential to keep running for the public good. But the people working in these kinds of sectors are usually very aware about that fact and will compensate for it by keeping a minimum level of service running even during a strike. While denying them their right to strike, in these essential sectors, is a recipe for steadily underfunding them without even having the "coal canary" of strikes happening to warn of it being underfunded and thus endangering the proper function of these essential sectors.
