> Historically, a labor strike means people walk, at risk of being fired, and don’t work until negotiations are resolved. No, it doesn't, it hasn't worked like that for decades. Most labour organisations have some form of agreement in place as to when and how strikes can be organised, and most of them involve some commitment to at least some continued operation for a period of time. Even when such an agreement is not in place, strikes are initially not complete strikes, because that wouldn't be in the interest of either party. Fully walking out of work right away and bringing the company down would literally bring down the jobs along with it, at which point negotiating payment or working conditions would be meaningless.
