This question doesn't really make much sense. If conditions are too bad and workers want to strike bad enough then there is nothing the government could do about it aside from making them work at gunpoint. And for those highly motivated for change, even that wouldn't be enough.

But yes they should be able to strike if they want to and anyone with a brain and courage will always be able to. That's the beauty of free will.

 

Also, what's with the wording of the question?  It's a little confusing.

Yah sorry about the wording of the question. I meant to leave that not part out.

As for the strike, the conditions were not that bad. The average salary was between 50k-60k a year and the retirement age is 55. My friend knows a worker who only works four 8 hour shifts and has a salary of like 57k, he never went to college and was striking for higher wages. My mom a teacher who had to go to University for five years was only making 33K or such a year and retires in her sixtees.All the guy does is drive to a neighbourhood and deliver the mail. 8 hours 4 times a week.

If thats considered bad working conditions then heck everybody making less then 50k should be walking off the job.

As for how the Government is enforcing this law, 1,000$ fines per day for staying off work, unless the employee quits.
