Every time I see"court orders striking workers to go back to work" I always wonder yo myself why they think that will work.

Of course, I'm even MORE baffled when it works.

You guys had them so terrified that they got courts involved, and you think THEY Hold the power?

Protip: if you hold out long enough, fines will be dropped. If you hold out long enough, their resort is to put you in jail, in which you still won't be working (for that company, anyway)

Also there's a super secret move where you and your coworkers drag your employer out of their home in the middle of the night.

Anyone doubting this should look up what happened with CUPE in Ontario, Canada. The government passed a law that would fine them for striking. They went on strike anyway, and a collective of national unions threatened a general strike. The government repealed the law and wiped out all the fines.

Ronald Reagan fired every single Air Traffic Controller for striking.

It really comes down to political will

And they are still short staffed to this day.
