And in many cases it is more a dispute between a union and employer rather than the employee.
So you don't believe in the right to strike at all then? That is a valid position to take but I believe will definitely lead to worse pay and worse terms and conditions for the lowest paid people in this country, the squeeze would be on leading to even greater inequality.
