As shitty as it is for the workers if that's the contract language, then that's how it is. I'm a union worker, and we are not allowed to strike per our contract which means if my office were going to act like we were; we would have to use vacation/break/outside of work hours to picket.

Which honestly, is the dumbest sort of agreement. "You can only take action against us if we say it's ok".

It would be an unmitigated disaster if my office (welfare) were allowed to strike and did so. Probably more of a mess than if police did.

Nobody would notice if cops decided to stop working beyond a better quality of life.

I can see very few instances where people shouldn't be allowed to. Your situation, sure. Retail and office workers it's dumb. If they're that integral they need to be paid better.
