>Then, on top of that, virtually skipping work so I can complain even further, I'm surprised no one gets fired on the spot.

I believe it would actually be illegal to fire employees for this. US employers generally cannot legally punish employees for striking.

But at-will states can word it so they were not fired for it. There would be many ways these employees can be dismissed and it would never be labelled for 'striking'.
