Having spent a couple days in jail once for contempt related to a discovery issue in a civil proceeding, I agree with everything you say.
That said, it begs the question of why isn’t the judge doing exactly that?
Likely answer: All counties all over the US are broke and locking up 1,100 people would be expensive.

Likely you are correct, it costs money to jail those in contempt. Job loss also motivates without costing the jail budget, thus the threat to replace strikers.

Locking up the union leadership would be a cheap, effective solution.
