    The power in striking doesn’t come from permission. It comes from the fact that labor is the backbone of all business.

      Agreed. About 20 years ago in Nova Scotia, nurses were negotiating for a 17% pay increase over 3 years. The province didn’t want to pay, so they passed legislation taking away the nurses’ right to strike.

      They walked out anyway. And got their 17%.
