Where’s their leverage if they can’t strike?
Blue Flu. You all call in sick togther.
They can get Federal arbitrators to help them negotiate, for one thing, and once they get a contract it will be damn near impossible to fire any of them. IMHO, it’s very dangerous to our civil liberties when cops can’t be fired. The whole thing is an affront to Federalism anyway. Who the hell are they to tell states whether or not their public servants can unionize?
They can quit or choose not to join in the first place.
Blue “flu”, work slow downs...there are ways to passive
agressively slow work down to a crawl! Refusing overtime(unless maditory overtime rules prevail) or not offering to work extra shifts to cover peak man-power shortages are another tactic. There are a lot of ways to “monkey wrench” the system!
