A work stoppage is more realistic than direct combat. What are they going to do? Force us to work?

For example, with the way supply chains are right now, how much leverage do transportation/logistics workers have to force a change?

Strikes are illegal in many industries. So, literally, the answer is yes

Not many industries and not all strikes have to be legal

Can't force someone to not strike who never entered the workforce in a meaningful way.

Fascinating! Any more info on which industries and by which means people would be forced to work?
