> Interesting strategy. As employee leave is used, this won't cost the union a dime in strike payouts. > Is it really a strike at that point? IMHO, yes. A strike is about coordinated employee action to to disrupt employer operations. How strikers get paid while doing it is totally irrelevant. > The company can just revoke leave in the future and call the bluff. Then they'll have to take unpaid leave and risk their jobs for real. Which would be a massively shitty move on the company's part, and likely to motivate more employees to join the union. After all, getting all your leave canceled is a pretty material reduction in working conditions. Literally, "the beatings will continue until morale improves."
