I'm not super sure I understand here, the government can say "no, you will continue working" when a union threatens to strike? What's the point of a union if companies can be so powerful that they can bend the government to deny them the ability to strike?

A similar situation happened with the American Railroad strikes a couple of years ago, and the USPS gave up their ability to strike a long time ago
