> Maybe if the entire SRE department went on strike and stopped maintaining the datacenters that would put a dent in the numbers due to degraded service, but something like that would probably just doom the company entirely even if they went back to work after a bit.
It's the threat of being able to strike and potentially cause that much damage to the business that makes it powerful.
No-one really wants to strike, actually going through with it is the final step when the company fails to meet the workers' demands - no point in making a threat if you don't demonstrate it when the circumstances arise, it's toothless otherwise.
