With the exception of Public Employees, if you are unionized, you have the right to strike. Public Employees, have a clause in there union contracts which forbid strikes. The trade off, was that they were supposed to have easier negotiations with management. As usual management has reneged on their part.

It is.Beside the freedom of press and assembly,there is freedom of association under which the Labour law and other related laws emanated.By right strike is the only means by which labour can achieve it's aim after all other means have been employed without success.However,if the constitution of a country prohibit strike that is an exceptional case because the constitution is the ground norm from which other statutes are derived but if such is guarranteed no company has any legal right to stop the worker from embarking on stike action provided it's done within the comfine of the established law.

In the good ole' USA, companies cannot prevent your right to "assemble" that means to meet and talk with a group for a specific purpose. In some instances,(emergency personnel) an employer can prevent labor from striking. Assembly ,(usually this refers to workers assembling to talk about forning a union or demanding higher wages and/or better working conditions) an employer may however prohibit any such movement while on company property and/or on company time. Best advise? Throw an employee party at a private house and invite (and exclude) who you want to come in. Call the Teamsters or other labor federation and tell them you would like a representative to attend the party to speak about the benefits of having a union. Keep in mind that in todays global economy, more and more "Union busting" is going on. Unions are losing ground and power and their (our) jobs are going overseas. Some would be happy just to have a job in the USA!

If you don't belong to a union, an employer can fire you if you go on strike. In some cases, if you belong to a union, you can be fired for going on strike. President Ronald Reagan did it to Air Traffic Controllers.
The First Ammendment of the Constitution refers to political and social freedoms. Employment is not a freedom issue.

Private companies that are unionized cannot forbid strikes. Government employees do not have the right to strike, even if unionized.

why would anyone want to strike. it rarely solves anything and sometimes results in massive job loss. even if the union tells you that you won,don't believe it,they won. the other guy is right about companies.

Its called the freedom to not hire you.
They don't HAVE to let you do ANYTHING. Just like you don't HAVE to take the job.
