Some large corporations and government divisions have labor unions and I never really understood how those work…
They can stop a whole corporation or public infrastructure unless their demands are met, but then, why can’t they have unreasonable requests?
In: Economics
Depends on the laws of the country. Where I live critical jobs can not go on full strike. There must always be enough cops, doctors and nurses, firefighters, public transportation, etc… working.
Also. If you are on strike, you don’t get paid, your union might compensate you.
Also my country did try this. The paper mill workers did major strikes. Which ended up with lots of mills going out of business, or moving their production abroad. Who cities which were built around these factories just started to die.
Same thing with local shipyard. It was almost a joke. There was a joke about it “every friday with nice weather there was a strike”. Which ended up with shipyard doing really poorly, and it’s now owned by Germans.
Basically it isn’t for the benefit of the workers to do outrageous demands. It can turn on you.
