Sure, you can still protest working conditions

My understanding is that it doesn't matter what type of employer you are working for. Striking is about a group of workers protesting something with their employer. There are, however, legal restrictions in some jurisdictions, mostly involving public workers like police and fire fighters. Some states also have further restrictions, but again, they are generally dealing with public service employees. I'm not aware of any restrictions that would apply to a non-profit. You might want to investigate/inquire what your options are through the ILRF, the second link below.

There is no law prohibiting a collection of employees to strike. Labor Unions, however, have an agreement with employers that should a strike occur, union employees can not be terminated. If you are NOT in a union, you are free to strike, but your employer is entitled to enforce the company policies of unexcused absences. (Most likely, termination.)

I take it you mean volunteers. Volunteer jobs aren't union. If you're talking about employees that work for non-profit organizations, yes they can. Some non-profit organizations, like the credit counseling services have unions. And because it seems like you're ignorant and don't know this. Just because a company is non-profit, it doesn't mean they don't pay employees.

Strikes are typically reserved for unions and without being in one, there is no recourse if the employer fires everyone.
So I would say as long as they are in a Union, there is a contract there for health benefits, salary, time off, etc and a strike would make sense. Otherwise, what's the point? They would just get fired.

If they are part of a union.
Do you mean volunteer employees or employees of a non-profit organization?

OF COURSE YOU CAN STRIKE BUT WHAT DO YOU WISH TO GAIN. A NON FOR PROFIT ORGANIZATION DOESN'T MAKE MUCH MONEY SO THEIR IS NONE TO HAND DOWN TO EMPLOYEES.

Where I'm from, you can only strike if you are a member of a union (and of course, if the majority of union members want to strike).

If you don't like the job you have, you're free to look for another. What do you need to strike for.
