The Federal Service Labor Management Relations Act of 1978 makes it illegal for Federal govt employees to strike and does not provide any protections for state or local employees to strike:

"Government employees — state, local, and federal — do not have a right to strike under the federal law."(1)

For local government, it would depend on which state you are in. 8 states do provide some rights to their state and local employees to strike, 42 states do not.(1)
